Handmade Vegetarian Sushi
The steps involved in making this kind of sushi take some time, but they are a great alternative for vegetarians who like the delicious mix of vinegar and soy sauce without having to worry about fish or dairy products. I made a variety of 8 kinds, but feel free to be creative and add any vegetable you like.
So, first, we have to make the Vinegar Rice:
Ingredients
1 1/2 tbs vinegar
1 tbs sugar
a pinch of salt
1 cup of freshly made rice( use a little bit less water than normal Japanese-style rice, this makes the rice a little bit harder)
Directions
1. Put the first 3 ingredients in a pot and heat it up until the sugar has dissolved.
2. Mix the rice and vinegar. Use wooden spoon or a rice scoop.
3. Use your hands to make about 2 inch, bite-size oval balls as the rice base of the sushi. You can make them one at a time as you make your sushi toppings. Cover the bowl with some plastic wrap in the meantime.
Now, the sushi rice is done!
