Though delicious without any additional condiments, the flavor punch of these small hand-rolled sushi bites can be kicked up by dipping, dripping, or spreading the following on the sushi:
Preparing Attractive Fillings
This guide will banish the cloud of complexity which hangs over the art of making sushi [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], enabling any amateur to create delicious and beautiful nori wraps. Elements covered herein include making the rice, understanding seaweed, preparing fillings and sauces, and finally assembling for consumption the sushi roll itself. Read, learn, and enjoy!
Though the name “sushi” often conjures up one image and one image only, that of raw fish (detestable to some, delightful to others) on rice, the options for filling hand rolls are as limitless as the human palate and imagination.
Understanding Nori
According to Dr. Subhuti Dharmananda at Portland's Institute for Traditional Medicine, a single gram of red algae (such as that from which nori derives) contains between 100 and 300 micrograms of iodine, an element crucial to the development of thyroid hormones in the human body.

The rice, rendered a pleasing tan color with a nutty aroma, should be somewhat sticky, but not dripping – this would cause it to soak through the nori too quickly.
Making the Sushi Rice
This guide recommends folding the larger nori squares into quadrants, creating small [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], palm-sized sheets ideal for hand-rolled sushi bites.
Nori derives from a variety of red algae, but the roasting process which prepares it for consumption replaces its deep purple tint with a striking emerald green. Widely available in many Western supermarkets, these sheets of roasted seaweed come in squares or rectangles which are easy to fold, tear, and cut to size.
Popular options – used for their simplicity, flavor, texture, nutrition, and attractiveness to the eye – include the following:
A vital source of vitamins, minerals, micronutrients, and soluble and insoluble fiber, sea vegetables are one of the best and underutilized super foods available on Planet Earth. They contain significant amounts of calcium, copper, iron, iodine, magnesium, potassium, selenium, sodium, and zinc, as well as vitamins A, C, and B12, which is rare in land plant sources.
Like dulse, wakame [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], hijiki, and kombu, nori has penetrated the vocabulary of many Western epicureans, yet remains somewhat shrouded in mystery. Asian cultures have been consuming sea vegetables like these and others for millennia, using them to promote health and longevity.
