Quick Sushi Lunch

When it's hot outside and you want something tasty, quick and easy for lunch, I love to make sushi wraps.

When I'm cooking rice I usually make extra, so that I have leftover rice to make wraps with.

Ideally,  I will add a little more liquid when cooking the rice and cook for a little extra time. The rice is then perfect for sushi, a little sticky and soft.

The other great thing is there are no rules, whatever you have in the refrigerator and would like, can work in a wrap.

These wraps are my favorite combo, but get creative and see what will become yours.

Cold cooked brown rice
Umeboshi plum vinegar
Mix rice and a little vinegar together approx. 1 to 2 tsp per cup of cooked rice.

Shredded carrot
Shredded daikon
Thinly cut cucumber
Avocado
Vegan cream cheese
Sheets of nori


I like to cook the nori sheets over an open flame for a few seconds until sheet turns bright green. I use a pair of tongs and hold over the gas the burner turning the sheet so it doesn't burn. This only takes a few seconds.

Cut each sheet in half.

Place rice and veggies in the middle of each sheet. Spread a little cream cheese on each sheet, next to where you have piled the veggies and rice. Then wrap into cone shapes.

Serve with wasabi and soy sauce.


Place ingredients on your 1/2 sheets of nori



Once rolled into cone shape, enjoy with soy sauce and wasabi
