Homemade Sushi

I have always loved sushi... So this fall I decided to give a shot to making my own (non-fish) & it worked out pretty well. Jake (husband) never cared for sushi, but has since started eating it. For mine, I just use veggies (carrot, cucumber, etc) but for his I will flour/egg/bread crumb the shrimp & stick it in the oven for 20 minutes or so to make him my own version of 'tempura'. 

Ingredients:
1 cup (uncooked) Brown sushi rice (I get this at my local Asian Market, for those of you that live in NH, I go to Saigon Asian Market on Maple Street, caddy corner to South Willow Street. This is also when I got my sushi mat for only $1!) 
Nori Sheets
Veggies/Fish
Wasabi/Soy Sauce (I like using Bragg's Liquid Aminos) 

*the ingredient list could really be as simple as a few items, what you choose to roll inside is up to you, shrimp, cooked or uncooked fish, vegetables, even fruit! 

I suggest wrapping your sushi mat into a large ziplock bag, it just makes it easier to roll. This is a great video on How to Roll Sushi (less than a 3 minute demo too). 

ENJOY!
