Vegetarian Sushi 101

I was at the asian market the other day. The man that ran the shop sad, sushi is easy to make and less expensive if you hand make it, and guess what? it is!. Im going to show you the types of vegetetarian sushi. TO learn to make sushi click here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPMaid87Es0

1. Mushroom Sushi: Take soba noodle, egg omlet, Spring onion, shitake mushroom and pickles on Nori paper thent! Roll very Tight

2. Cucumber, cream cheese and avocado: This vegetarian sushi has the perfect combination of smooth and crunchy textures. Keep in mind that it is higher fat than some of the other vegetarian options because the cream cheese and avocado are both fat-laden.
3. Egg sushi: Japanese scrambled eggs, called Oboro, are often used in vegetarian sushi. For those vegetarians who eat eggs, it is not only delicious, but a good source of protein.
4. Roasted eggplant and zucchini: For a hearty vegetarian sushi, try roasted or grilled eggplant and zucchini. The bold flavors are satisfying, but the resulting sushi is very low fat and healthy.
5. Tofu and Green Onions: This protein-packed sushi is low fat and delicious. You can try using fresh or dried tofu for variations on this classic.
