Guest guest Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 I found a recipe on AllRecipes.com that I'd like to try out tonight. I have an avocado I need to use up before it goes bad, as well as some tofu I dethawed. The recipe is for sushi rolls using those items along with cucumber, seasonings and the usual rice. I picked up nori when I was last at the Asian market, however I don't have a bamboo mat. Is it hard to roll sushi without one? Also, I have basmati rice at home and will probably use that as my rice so I hope I can get some kind of stickiness from that. Has anyone here rolled their own sushi?

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 you can add a little sugar to the rice to make it stickier if necessary. if you are rolling them w/ the nori on the outside you should be fine with/ the mat. you can use a towel, if necessary.. but you can also use the nori! sounds yummmmy! l =) jenni On Wednesday, April 27, 2005, at 10:12 AM, Jen Lott wrote: > I found a recipe on AllRecipes.com that I'd like to > try out tonight.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 The bamboo mat makes a nice firm roll. I make them all the time. Are you making sushi rice with rice vinegar and fanning it until it cools? Look on the internet for a sushi rice recipe. I have a good one at home........Donna Jen Lott <celestial726 wrote:I found a recipe on AllRecipes.com that I'd like to try out tonight.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 I do have rice vinegar. I was probably going to cook my basmati rice in my rice cooker, like I always do, and toss it a little with vinegar. I have never made sushi rice so will check around more whne I get home from work.
