Equipment:
Bamboo sushi rolling mat
Really sharp serrated knife
Rice cooker or pot for rice
Large preferabely glass bowl to cool rice down in
Small saute pan
Tongs, if you are going to be roasting the nori
Ingredients
For the rice
1 cup sushi rice made with 1 1/4 cup H20, prepared according to package directions
About 2 Tablespoons Rice vinegar (do not use regular or any other kind!)
1 teaspoon sugar
For the filling
1/4 cup Roasted salted peanuts (the big oily kind are best)
1/2 avocado, peeled, seeded, sliced into long pieces
4 sheets nori*
Directions
For the rice
Prepare rice according to package instructions. It should be something like 1 1/4 cup H20 to 1 cup rice. Cook till rice is tender but firm, even a little dry.
Empty hot rice into a large glass bowl. Sprinkle with about rice vinegar and 1 sugar. Fold rice gently with a large spoon or rice paddle. Rice should be moist and have a mild vinegar flavor. Cover with plastic wrap. When rice is slightly warmer than room temperature it's ready to work with.
For the filling
Layer peanuts and avocado, and roll, young soldier, roll!
*If you like, use a pair of tongs to roast the nori sheets over the oven flame for 2-3 seconds. |

I haven't made this sushi myself, but I've had it a local sushi restaurant and it is AMAZING. They call it the Buddah roll. I will totally make this sometime. |

I dared to make sushi for the first time with the tips on this site + this recipe. It came out *great* and my daughter's 2 non-vegan 17 yo friends said it was better than restaurant sushi. Thanks! |
