Stunning Spicy Tomato Sushi Rolls with Forbidden Rice
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups of cooked forbidden rice or brown rice
- 2 cups of chopped seeded Roma tomatoes
- 1 tbsp of tamari or low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 4 - 8 inch nori sheets
- 1/2 avocado, peeled and sliced
- 2 Persian cucumbers, peeled and julienned
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and julienned
- 1 cup of spinach
Preparation
In a bowl, marinate the sliced tomatoes with tamari, sriracha sauce, maple syrup, and ginger. Let it stand for 10 minutes.
Stir rice vinegar into the cooked rice mixture.
Lay a sushi mat on a flat surface or cutting board. Place a nori sheet lengthwise on the mat. With damp fingers, spread one-fourth of the rice mixture on the nori, leaving a 1/4 inch room on the side edge.
Arrange two slices of avocado, cucumbers, carrots, the spicy tomato mixture, and two spinach leaves along the center of the flattened rice layer.
Roll up the nori tightly toward the infilled edge using the sushi mat. Brush the edges with some water to seal. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
Enjoy the sushi rolls with tamari and fresh grated ginger.
