Mizuna Sushi Rolls
Sushi need not be made with meat; there are many traditional vegetarian versions as well to accommodate Japanese Buddhists who abstained from eating flesh. While we’ve never seen the following in any sushi bar or in any cookbook, we feel pretty certain that something like this has graced many a Japanese meal since the time of the Samurai to the present. Note that we’ve earlier detailed to process for making sushi rice and have simply linked that recipe here. Plastic wrap Place plastic wrap on top of the rolling mat. Place a scant, even, ½” layer of rice over the plastic wrap.
Place a nori sheet over the rice. Run a bead of mayonnaise and dots of wasabi down the middle of the noiri sheet.
Place a 1/2” layer of mizuna over the nori, and roll up into a cylinder.
Remove the plastic wrap and sprinkle the outer rice layer with a garnish of black sesame seeds. Slice into 1” wide segments and arrange on a serving plate. Repeat until your ingredients are used up.
