Ariel Arons: nori, a type of edible seaweed which is dried or toasted, and often sold in sheetsYou might want to shop at an Asain Supermarket to find the nori wraps/seaweed wraps.There is a video on this website that might help you start making your own sushi that is vegiterian.vegetarian.about.com/b/a/256653.htmSpicy tuna and cucumber roll6 ounce tuna fillet, without skin 1 Japanese cucumber (or 1/2 Western variety, peeled and seeded) 4 cups sushi rice 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds, toasted 2 sheets nori seaweed 1 teaspoon rice vinegar 3 tablespoons water Bamboo mat 1 tablespoon finely grated wasabi horseradish 2 teaspoons spicy chili oil Sweetvinegared ginger, well drained, for garnish With a sharp knife, cut tuna fillet crosswise at a slight angle and into slices about 1/4 inch thick. Wrap in a kitchen towel and set aside. Cut the cucumber into narrow strips about 4 inches long. Mix the sushi rice with the sesame seeds. Just before rolling sushi, toast the nori by pa! ssing the shiny side over a high flame. The color of the nori will change from brownish black to dark green. (Without toasting, the nori will be gummy and hard to chew.) Cut toasted nori sheets in half crosswise. Lay a 1/2 a sheet of the nori, shiny side down, on a bamboo rolling mat. Combine the rice vinegar and water, and moisten your hands with this hand vinegar to keep the rice from sticking to your hands as you work. Spread about 1 cup of the sushi rice on 3/4 of the nori closest to you, in a layer about 1/4 inch thick, spreading it to the edges. Smear a thin line of the wasabi across the center of the rice, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of chili oil. Lay 1/4 of the cucumber strips and 1/4 of the tuna slices evenly along the wasabi. To roll, hold the line of ingredients in place with fingertips, and use thumbs to push up and turn the end of the bamboo mat so that the edge of the nori is lifted up and meets the far edge of the sheet. Correct the shape by gently but fir! mly pressing the bamboo mat around the roll for about 30 secon! ds to shape it. Make 3 more rolls. Use a wet knife to cut each roll into 1inch rounds. Arrange sushi on a platter or individual plates and garnish with the vinegared ginger.Crunchy roll:6 sheets nori 3 cups sumeshi 8 pieces tempura shrimp 1 small avocado 6 sticks green onion Cooking DirectionsCook sushi rice. Bake tempura shrimp as directed on the package. I used this tempura shrimp, but I’m sure other types, or even homemade tempura shrimp will work just fine. You can also fry the tempura shrimp if you choose, but baking it is healthier, and you can prepare other things (such as the sumeshi) while it’s baking. Cut tails off the tempura shrimp. Slice tempura shrimp in half lengthwise, set aside. Cut the avocado in half, discarding the pit. Cut off the hard skin and discard. Slice the avocado into thin sticks. Wash the green onion, cut the long green stalks off of the white bulb-like things. Discard the white bulbs. Roll the sushi, using one green onion stalk, several av! ocado sticks, and 2 ½ slices of tempura shrimp as your fillings. Serve with shoyu, wasabi, and ginger if desired. Enjoy!
