Vegetable Nori Rolls

Alfalfa sprouts make an excellent rice substitute in nori rolls. Fills them out, makes it easy to roll etc.

also for the filling i sort of just ground up some carrots, celery, red pepper, shoyu, and daikon till it was sort of ricey consistency. it was actually really good.

Cilantro is great on it too!

OH, and I forgot...sproated quinoa can also be used as a rice substitute

I took a raw foods prep class and she made sushi. In place of rice(which I hated before and I reason I often didn't do sushi) she used a blend of root veggies ground up in the food processor. I think it was a mix of turnip and parsip, then put in a nut milk bag to drain out the extra liquid. Some seasonings were added, but the ground up root veggies made a GREAT rice substite. I am actually going to try to make some tomorrow so will post if it goes well, lol or perhaps even if it doesn't! I have turnip, parsnip and even a daikon radish. Might make for warming rolls :)

What a beautiful presentation photo!

i ground up some fresh horseradish and put it in the shoyu/braggs. it was amazing

Sorry for all the grammatical errors. I should of re-read :-)

I made raw sushi last week without a recipe and had problems rolling so I searches the web and found a recipe called for a not paste to spread on half the sheet and to seal the nori.I lost the link but it was mainly pine nuts ( i used almonds and walnuts and sunflower seeds and a little lemon or apple cider vinegar 1 teaspoon garlink 1 of ginger and a little raw soy sauce.In the FP to a spreadable texture. It was simply the best sushi I ever had! Hope I find the link again but I listed the main ingredients here...Try it and tell me what you think!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but i heard, for us vegans out there, that nori is full of fish/shellfish remains as when bits are drag up when it is harvested and they don't bother to take it out.

try pulsing a peeled jicama in the food processor til it looks like rice. Let some of the moisture drain out of it on a towel. It doesn't stick quite as well as sushi rice, but it really does the trick!

I too am a HUGE sushi fan - this will definitely fix my cravings :) wonderful presentation!

I took this on a picnic (slice the roll right before serving) with a Braggs/wasabi dip & it was great. Made a lot more than 4 rolls, though. I added a very thin slice - like a peeling - of ginger to each. A friend suggests using sprouted wild rice instead of bean sprouts - haven't tried it yet. I really need to refresh my rolling skills! :)

What a great presenation, I can't wait until I can figure out how to make these

i finally made this, YUM! the kids loved it- I loved it!

my husband gave it a weird look with a that's different but then ate the whole thing I gave him so he must have liked it...

we made it with sprouts, carrots, cucumber, green onion, avocado, tomato... it was so good.

Cilantro is great on it too!

I made them with the nori.Yes! I read it wrong and used a whole cucumber instead of 1/4 but it was soooo good that way. Made twice as many. I could eat these every day!

Yes, but then you don't get the benefit of the seaweed/iodine.

Not only is this delicious, and satisfies my cravings for sushi, but it's really good to have in my diet. My nutritionist definitely recommended the nori because it's high in iodine, and like many folks, I'm deficient in iodine. So I try to have these every chance I get.

Tip: Have some wasabi with the Braggs, for an even more sushi-like flavor!
