The full size sushi I made was a little too big to eat in one bite. You really wouldn't want these plugging your sushi-hole when you suddenly realize you maybe put a wee too much wasabi on them! And they are a little messy to try and eat in two bites.What to do?
Well sushi-poppers, of course!!
All I did for these was to cut the nori in half and make the fillings more narrow.They were the perfect size for dipping and popping in one bite. They were a little harder to roll, but definitely worth it. And they are a great healthy snack/meal. It's definitely a great way to get more veggies in your diet (we live in the Midwest, not a real great place to get fabulously fresh seafood easily, so I used a variety of veggies in mine with a little tamago for extra flavor and protein).
I wonder if you could lose weight eating sushi...
Good for you! I love sushi but I haven't tried to make any, yet.
My friends and I sometimes have "sushi" nights where we make homemade sushi. Sometimes we use tofu or cooked chicken in the rolls. I keep trying to make a "Thai peanut chicken" roll. It hasn't been sucessful yet.
Laurie, if you can roll a burrito, you definitely can make sushi! The rice is the trickiest part.
Shannon, SSB and I were just talking today about all the blasphemous things we could make sushi rolls out of - SSB says, "It's FUSION!!"
YUM! Sushi! What a great idea. I've never tried to make it. I'll definitely look into it. Thanks for the great mealtime idea.
re: losing weight via sushi.
nope. I'm still fat.
OldRoses, I have had sushi as a meal about 6 times in the last week! The mini ones are pretty hard to roll, so I would start full-sized first.
Derek, eh, it was worth a shot.
Your sushi looks great!! I want some! (although fresh, because those are a week old now) I always use too much rice.
Perhaps I should do this for lunch - the kids love sushi.
And yes, you can lose weight eating sushi.
Lyvvie, it is very tempting to use a lot of rice. Glad to hear that your kids love it. My son's friends all turn their nose up at it. My son, on the other hand, loves anything from the sea.
