Brown Rice Sushi Salad
I am one of those people that loves sushi and surprisingly enough my two and six year old can't get enough of it. I tend to make sushi at home but the rolling of the rice and all can get a bit time consuming so today I decided to make a salad version instead!!
This is a good alternative to rolling sushi and the result is still very good.
For those people that do not like raw sushi, I actually don't give the raw part of things to my kids, adding cooked shrimp, cooked chicken or just vegetables it is a great alternative.
This salad is also very versatile as you can add or omit ingredients to your liking. This is a great refreshing salad perfect for the up coming warmer days so I hope you get to try it.
Enjoy!!
You can add or omit any ingredients to your liking to the sushi salad. Also when adding the vinegar and sesame oil you may want to add more or less than what I have written in the recipe.
yields 6-8 servings
3 cups brown sushi rice
1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup good quality sesame oil
1 lb medium cooked shrimp
2 carrots, chopped
2 cucumbers, chopped
1 red onion, chopped
10-12 sheets nori, cut into strips
Herring roe, optional, believe it or not I got mine at Ikea
Sesame seeds, optional
Cook rice according to package instructions. (I cook mini in a rice cooker which I think it helps a lot in getting the rice perfectly cooked)
When rice is done place it in a big bowl and add all of the remaining ingredients and combine.
Adding soy beans and pickled ginger would be really good on this.
