Extras 1 avocado julienned 1/2 cup sprouts (ginger sprouts are yummy, alfalfa sprouts, sunflower sprouts, etc..) 10 Steps to Making Sushi (I got detailed pics. in my book) Step 1: Take a sheet of nori and place it onto a clean smooth surface. Step 2: Spread 2-3 tbs. of the rice mixture on to 1/4th of the nori sheet. Step 3: Make a little indent and put 1-2 tbs. of the marinated veggies on top.

Use your thumbs and fingers and roll it up, when rolling, tighten the roll everytime. Step 8: Let the roll sit for 5 minutes before cutting. Step 9: Using a serrated knife cut the nori roll into 5-6 equal parts. Use a see-saw motion with a serrated knife to make it a perfect smooth cut.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Nope, just put it into the dirt and take good care of it. Keep the dirt moist, but not too moist. vegwriter wrote:In a message dated 4/21/2004 9:57:40 PM Eastern Standard Time, alexmalinsky writes: You have to grow the plant.
