Sushi? Imitation crab??

[stitchbug]

I just returned from vacation at a vegetarian resort in Costa Rica. The menu was amazing and one night we had sushi. Half of it was the standard veggie sushi, filled with avocado, carrots, cucumber, etc (don't get me wrong when I say 'standard', the rolls were giant and delicious) and the other half were Israeli inspired (the owners are from Israel) filled with marinated eggplant, onion, i think tomato and I forget what else. To die for... So if you learn to make your own sushi, the options really are endless as far as fillings.

Oh, good idea! I alread ymake my own sushi and without buying the fish, it will be SOO much cheaper, too!

See there you go! You just opened up a doorway to a whole bunch of new options. Let's see what filling options we can brainstorm for you:

cucumbers
carrots
avocado
marinated eggplant/zucchini
spinach
cooked butternut squash (hmm...)

I could even add tempura fried green beans. Not really the healthiest option, but sure would be delish!

Aw, crud!!
Sushi (actual raw fish/rolls) is going to be the hardest thing for me to give up
Hope that the veggie rolls satisfy me today...maybe it won't be so hard after all....we shall see

They should be good. I Love sushi as well! The restaurant I go to has a wonderful breaded and deep friend tofu......to DIE for! (I don't know what it's called though) try experimenting with the veggie ones or even make your own sushi at home!! You never know what you will find out!
