Sushi fixings (without raw fish)
Looking for ideas...
I plan to purchase some Sushi stuff so next time the nephews visit, I can get at least the older one (Dyson will be 6 on July 10th) to help me with it. He was remarkably coordinated making the onion skin easter eggs. Morgan just turned 4. Morgan the younger broke 4 eggs and I finally just asked him to hand me the skins so I could wrap instead. <g> He was ok with that. Both of the boys love sushi thanks to their parents eclectic tastes. Sis' is also teaching them to eat chicken feet since I'll give her some from time to time. ;-d Anyway, I really don't have access to sashimi grade fish here so plan to use things like cooked shrimp, cooked crab meat, strips of other cooked meat, (chicken, beef or fish, maybe some salmon), avocado slices, lengthwise slices of cooked carrots, lightly steamed choy cut into strips, etc. Maybe some red lumpfish caviar in small amounts. I've never actually made it but I used to watch mom and dad make it when I was younger and it does not look too hard. Place the Nori on the sushi mats, layer the rice on top and put the center stuffing on one side. Roll up, seal the nori with a little water like making won tons, chill and slice it into 1" bits. Should not be too hard. Looking for other stuffing/ingredient ideas. And yes, I have squid in the freezer. <g> -- Peace! Om Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass.

All you need is fake crab, cucumber, pickled ginger and fresh ripe avacado. Lots of YouTube videos to show you how. Paul |

My sushi is not the greatest, but I do okay. I lay plastic wrap across a bamboo(?) mat, then I begin making the roll. The mat helps me when I roll the sushi. Have fun with your nephews. :-P Becca |

Go vegetarian, though the caviar in tiny amounts could be nice. The bok choy could be a real turnoff for some folks. > > I've never actually made it but I used to watch mom and dad make it when > I was younger and it does not look too hard.

I don't like nori, but that's just me. > > Should not be too hard. > > Looking for other stuffing/ingredient ideas.

I like avocado, cucumber, carrot, maybe sprouts, egg - make a really thin omelet and julienne it, um, beets? <hiding> My SIL offers pickled cucumber. I think you could use anything julienned.... I prefer them inside out. The fishiness of the nori is less pronounced, at least in my opinion. Tracy |

In addition to the usual stuff I have used asparagus and salmon, green beans, mushrooms and scallion strips. Making the rice is probably the most important step. Also use less than you think you need when assembling. You usually don't refrigerate it. To slice just cut in half, stack the pieces and cut into thirds or fourths. |

Looks nice and easier than the rolled sort. |

That goes surprisingly well with prepared sushi rice, although I gather it is the norm to use unseasoned sushi rice. I'm sure the kids would have fun doing that--esp. squishing the rice into balls or forming triangles. -- Jean B. |
