Must have sushi help me

[Maz]

I need a rice subsitute. Something yummy and sticky for filling. TIA.

well i don't have a rice substitute but I do have "sushi" alot...

I simply take my fish...tuna, shrimp, scallops, ikura (sorry don't know the english)....take them and wrap them in a piece of seaweed and dip in a bit of soy sauce...I don't miss the rice (too much) anymore....

Hmmm, if you can't just do the Sashimi thing....


All I can think of that would even vaguely taste right would be Jicama, and even that adds a sweet taste, and the texture will be completely different from rice. Could taste cool though .

oh and in the wrapped up seaweed throw in some cucumber spears that are dipped in vinegear

Grated raw cauliflower (easy to do in food processor) then sauteed till tender tastes a lot like rice esp. with soy sauce and ginger. It's not sticky, though, so I don't know how it could stay together (you could add egg like fried rice)

I do fine at the sushi bar asking for hand rolls that contain finely chopped cabbage or shredded daikon radish instead of rice. Delicious!

It's not sushi at all, but I get some of the same flavors by using wasabi mayonnaise (combine wasabi and mayo to taste--I make up a small batch and keep it in the fridge) to make salmon salad, tuna salad, shrimp salad, chicken salad, whatever. I add a little soy sauce and a few drops of ginger juice (mine's bottled, but grated fresh would be even better). Diced avocado's terrific in it too, or cucumber. I eat the salad as is, but you could definitely do a hand roll, or even a regular roll if your protein was in small enough pieces and you used enough mayo to bind it well.

As I say, not sushi, but delicious and easy--and if you like sushi, you'll like it. ;-)

Thanks for the ideas!

Korean California rolls

I make these for parties and they are fantastic!
you have to do a lot of cutting so arrange everything and then have someone help you
you
cut in thin strips and place in separate piles on plate in a circle with a bowl for the sauce in the middle the following

green onions
carrots (if post induction)
red bell peppers
daikon radish
spinach
and a think egg pancake (just beaten eggs cooked in a thin pancake in skilled until dry and done not brown

then take sushi style seaweed sheets cut them in half to make squares
make a pile on a separate plate

sauce
soy and wasabi...taste for flavor ...I love lots of wasabi!!!
pickled ginger on the side if you want

take a sheet of seaweed put some of each inside roll up and dip in sauce....I never have any on the plate left at a party when I take this for an appetizer!!!! people who may not like sushi love this!!!!
