Nihon e yōkoso :D

Eh? o.O Couldn't understand the heading? :o

Well, food is found just anywhere and everywhere and so, this time, I've stolen a dish from East Asia. ;)

Welcome to Japan, peeps! :D :D (Nihon e yōkoso) ;)

Here is the traditional dish of Japan brought to you because you need to spice up your world with some not so boring vegan food. ;)

Vegan Sushi ... :D

Did I just mention the Sushi to be vegetarian? o.O

Because YESSSSSS, a Vegetarian Sushi recipe is here :D Check it out:

Ingredients:

1/3 cup cooked Japanese sushi rice (or sticky rice)

1 sheet roasted seaweed

Rice vinegar

Bragg’s soy sauce

Some julienned carrot

A couple strips of cucumber

A little bit of pickled ginger

1-3 small, marinated mushrooms

1 tsp. toasted sesame seeds (you just need a couple sprinkles)

A Sushi mat

Method:

First of all, cook your rice. You can cook it like normal rice but the ratio is 1 cup of rice to 1 ¼ cup of water.

Get out a bamboo sushi mat and place the seaweed (shiny side down) on the mat. Spoon about 1/3 cup of rice onto the seaweed and pat it down with wet fingers. Leave one inch (on the bottom of the sheet) without rice.

Then add soy sauce and rice vinegar (equal amounts) by sprinkling it lightly over the rice.

Add your veggies by lining them up in rows, close together.

Roll it up using the sushi mat. Hold the edge of the mat with your thumbs, then lift the seaweed and roll the sushi away from you. Make sure to keep the ingredients in place and that the rice sticks together.

And then you slice it up into 5 pieces and top with a barely there sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds.

So, this is the time to try this traditional dish of Japan and challenge your taste buds to visit Japan soon. ;)

Finally made the commitment to go back to eating solely pecestrian foods. 

For those of you who aren't familiar I will try to give the best of my knowledge about the eating philosophy as much as possible. 

For me it ties in my spiritual background, holistic health, and mental strength which is why it is a good nutritional choice for me. 

It may not work for everyone, but to some it may be the best choice. Don't listen to the garbage about it not being a real vegetarian. Suck it. really it's actually a better vegetarian because it provides more choice in the field of proteins when trying to reach pyramid health. as well as brain health and function, it's lean and contains vitamins. think about it.

Join me on a 30 day pledge to incorporate pescetarian health in my diet . I'm planning to attempt Team in Training for the first time for this year (long overdue). Hopefully, this will help me achieve that goal. And I'm all about goal busting this year. Cross it off the list.
