We Eat, part 2

More deliciousness from the past few months, for your viewing pleasure (and I hope culinary inspiration).

Exhibit C: Multinational Vegetarian Sushi

These were Italian rolls:

• sushi rice inside
• a bit of mozzarella in the middle
• a topping of sundried tomatoes and capers. 

In a traditional nori roll of course.

And these ones are the same vinegared sushi rice with veggies inside a rice paper wrapper. Fillings included

• pan fried and salted strips of tempeh
• red bell peppers
• pickled ginger
• spinach leaves
• tofu
• cream cheese
• zucchini

We did some research, largely because 4 out of 5 of us are vegetarian and wanted to come up with as many filling options as possible. First info: "sushi" means vinegared rice (no mention of raw fish in there at all). Second info: nori wraps taste good, but rice paper is flavor neutral and therefore lens itself nicely to a huge variety of ingredients. We tried Mexican, Italian, more traditional Japanese, and sort of Pacific Rim Fusion.
Yum.
