Here's an easy fun recipe for yummy home-made sushi. I will admit, it is time-consuming and if you're in a hurry, you may prefer to pick up some already-made vegetarian rolls at Trader Joe's. If you're feeling adventurous, though, try these out. They taste even better than the Trader Joe's kind! 

   1 1/2 cups of short-grain white rice
   2 1/4 cups of water
   Sesame oil
   Salt
   1 packet of seaweed (the seasoned kind is best, though pricier)
   1/2 English cucumber, cut into thin strips
   1 carrot, peeled and cut into thin strips
   1 avocado, cut into long pieces
   Braggs' Aminos
   Wasabi paste (optional)

Cook rice by bringing to the boil, covering and simmering until done (about 15-18 minutes). Spread out on a cutting board and mix in sesame oil and salt to taste. Mix well with your hands or a wooden spoon. Take one sheet of seaweed and spread a thin layer of rice over it, leaving a bit empty at one end. Lay down several slices of cucumber and carrot, or cucumber and avocado, then roll up the seaweed. You can run a bit of water on the empty edge, just to make sure it sticks. Cut into five pieces, then serve with Braggs' and wasabi paste for dipping. (wasabi paste is fiery hot, so dab the smallest amount on your sushi).
