Vegetarian "sushi"

 3 persons, 7,00€, Medium

This is very beautiful and very popular for parties and gatherings. It is quite easy to make once you get into rolling them up ... You need to buy some specific kitchen appliances to make them, It's an initial investment worth that will dilute as you will make these often. You need to buy a rolling mat, Nori leaves (dried for sushi), sushi rice and rice vinegar. Even in Portugal you can now find these ingredients easily, at places like "Celeiro". Make sure you have a good kitchen knife.

Making a sushi roll

Repeat until you get at least one roll per person.

Rolls before cutting

Finally cut the rolls into slices, I do either 6 or 8, and remember to keep the knife wet as the rolls are sticky. Serve with soya sauce.
