How to make sushi.

Step 1: Lay out your Sushi Nori (Seaweed)

Step 2: Flatten cooked short-grained rice on seaweed making sure that you leave one inch on top and bottom.

Step 3: Lay on rice either avocado, salmon, or whatever your sushi choice may be, as shown above

Step 4: Begin to roll the sushi tightly. You may also purchase the sushi mat (but I use my hands)

Step 5: Water the top inch to help it stick when you roll it shut.

Step 6: Cut sushi roll in half

Step 7: Follow by cutting smaller slices as you like (I cut them into 6 even slices)

Step 8: It won't be perfect, but it tastes wonderful!

For a list of all ingredients click here. You can add Bragg's Amino Liquid in a separate small bowl. It tastes just like soy sauce. For this particular meal, I had leftover salmon and rice so I made a separate plate for us with steamed broccoli.

Then I finished it off by making a wonderfully colorful salad with spinach, beets (leaves, root, and stem), watercress, carrots, onions, tomatoes, feta cheese, craisins, apple cider vinegar, evoo, and lots of love =)

First time for everything.

Yesterday was my first time making sushi. No raw meat involved. I learned how to first make this at a Macrobiotics cooking class. I didn't realize something so simple could fill both my husband and I, but it did and it was delicious.

5 simple ingredients:
1. Brown short grain rice
2. Avocado
3. Organic Nori Sushi (seaweed)
4. Organic pickled ginger (P.S. Publix does NOT sell this organic. It contains Red 40 and Aspartame - stay away)
5. Braggs Amino Liquid for soy sauce

That's it =)

Then, I made banana chocolate chip bread for the second time. Don't have the ingredients with me right now but I did take a picture (it smells and tastes better than it looks)
