Wednesday, 2 April 2014
Edit
After adopting a to a greater extent than salubrious lifestyle this yesteryear January, I decided to crusade making a quinoa version of sushi instead of our regular white rice of the past. I wasn't certain how it would plough out merely it ends upwardly it wasn't every bit hard every bit I thought. I was worried the quinoa wouldn't hold upwardly glutinous plenty too granted it's non glutinous rice, merely it even thus worked out too was rather tasty too worthy of sharing. Here's how I made it.
Living on the westward coast nosotros select a beautiful Japanese civilisation around us. One of our favorite Japanese restaurants inwards Richmond is Sushi Han. One of my favorite dishes on their card is their Tropical Rolls. It's a mix of avocado too mango too the combo of the nutty too tangy flavours dipped inwards a petty wasabi too soy sauce, is instant perfection! So I idea I'd interpret that into a to a greater extent than healthier version using quinoa. The gustation isn't that dissimilar using the quinoa, plus the compaction was sort of a overnice addition.
Ingredients
iv sheets of toasted Nori newspaper
ane loving cup quinoa
1-1/2 loving cup organic vegetable stock
ane mango (not also ripe)
ane avocado (not also ripe)
Japanese mayo (optional)
Sushi Soy Sauce
pickled ginger (a pinch for each person)
wasabi (a pinch for each)
sushi rolling mat
Optional veggie filling possibilities: carrot, greenish onion, cooked sugariness potato, greenish onions, cucumber
To brand the quinoa:
Rinse the quinoa well. Add it to the vegetable stock too convey to a boil. Once boiling, plough downwards oestrus to medium depression too arrive at for roughly xv -20 minutes until calorie-free too fluffy. Set aside to cool, merely don't permit it larn also mutual frigidness or it won't stick really well.
While the quinoa is cooking, prep the avocado too mango yesteryear cutting each into long strips thus y'all tin lay them across the nori papers lengthwise.
To brand the rolls:
Once the quinoa is finished too cooled, commence to gather the rolls. Place a slice of nori newspaper onto a bamboo sushi rolling mat. I role the one-half method which is basically placing the quinoa onto one-half of the nori sheet. Place the quinoa to comprehend one-half of the nori newspaper (about a 1/8 - 1/4 inch thick). Lay a slice of mango along from destination to end, too and thus a slice or 2 of avocado beside it. Using the sushi mat showtime to curlicue the newspaper from the destination where the quinoa starts. Keep tucking too rolling every bit y'all go. To encounter a video on how to curlicue sushi, here is a link. Lay the curlicue on it's seam to allow it to seal too and thus cutting into pieces. Place on a apartment tray amongst the pickled ginger too wasabi too soy sauce for dipping too you're set! Enjoy!
