TIPS

Nori Rolls are actually not too difficult to make and I prefer to hand roll them rather than using a sushi bamboo mat. I’m all about quickness in the kitchen. A very sharp knife is crucial and it has to be damp when cutting the sheets. When I’m super busy, I cut the whole sheet in half and serve, rather than cutting into bite sized pieces.


I use any vegetables that I have,  sometimes lettuce leaves, spinach, sliced cabbage, jicama, zucchini, there are endless combinations. Cauliflower rice works well too, but I find it trickier to work with, but I’m no chef!!  Mango makes a great addition, as well as avocado. Make any combination you like and any plant-based dipping sauce, I use coconut aminos as a soy  sauce replacement.


My local vegetarian restaurant uses quinoa instead of rice for their nori rolls. 


Let your imagination flow!!
