That is my dream! Kosher sushi is difficult to come by!
PLEASE tell me how you make it step by step! I thought about buying a book on the subject...is there one you recommend if you don't wish to tell me yourself?
Where in Asia does your fam originate? Have you ever been? I always knew you were special...now I know you are even more special (I dated many men from differet backrounds...and one was Asian! He gave me his sen-sai's (sp) yin yang necklace. It was very special to me!  It was a wonderful teen romance.....)

My husband makes veggie and fish sushi too, when he has time. It is so-o-o-o good. Ruchie, just look in the library for a cookbook with sushi rolling pictures - it's not that complicated, but you will have to practice a few times to get the rolls looking nice. Until that point, you'll have sushi casserole rather than sushi rolls, but it tastes just as good!

Kate, Oh I didn't know that sushi was made with seaweed, I
thought it was just raw fish. I have heard that seaweed acts
like a laxative. In fact, I bought this stuff from Northern
Ireland called "Phycoplex", but I haven't tried it yet. It
has a warning on the label that says it can cause severe
cramps the first few times you use it. That didn't thrill me too much. Thanks for the explanation- Bob

I love Dulse--when the mood strikes I buy it to snack on.

I buy my seaweed at the Asian market though I have seen it in regular grocery stores. You take 1/2c rice vinegar, 4 Tbsp. sugar and 1.5 tsp salt and mix all of that together.
Make 4 cups (dry...cook according to directions) of sushi or Japanese rice (calrose) none of that Uncle Ben's stuff . Pour the "sushi-su" into the rice and mix well. Let cool.
Take your seaweed and bamboo mat if you have one (not neccessary though), take a cup of your rice and press it into the seaweed leaving about 1/2" of seaweed "empty" to seal. Press well as that will adhere the rice to the seaweed. It takes practice and your first few rolls may look a little scary but they taste good no matter how scary they look!
Roll with your favorite stuff...I love wasabi and soy sauce. Ooh..I have a couple of rolls in my fridge. I think I will eat them for lunch!
I am half Korean but we lived in Japan a hundred years ago when I was a baby until I was nine. In my heart I am a Japanese girl!
If you can't find a bamboo mat, let me know and I will get you one.
Now you know why I use the "grin" Graemlin...it has eyes like mine!

Japanese seaweed is called "nori". It may be an acquired taste for some but I find it tasty. There is nori flavored with soy sauce that is particularly good.
"Sashimi" is the raw fish...a common misnomer that has even made it to the soap operas where they call refer to sushi as raw fish.

Oh...I thought it was kind of strange that so many IBS people
liked and were eating raw fish. I would think that raw fish
would be quite a trigger. I'll have to check out our local
food coop and see if they carry it. Thanks for clueing me in.

I eat sushi with raw fish on it and it has never bothered me. It must be the Asian in me!

Some is made with seaweed (rolls and handrolls).
Some is not - it's just fish and rice (and wasabi, if you must).
