Small

Nori sheets
|
|
The curly top end of the leaf will end up being the top of
the roll. Lay in a sheet of nori
if you’d like. You can buy them in
3 X 4 in sheets. Perfect size for
Curly Sushi. Scoop in a couple
tablespoons of sushi rice in the middle of the leaf. Arrange the long fruits & veggies toward the top of the
leaf, sticking out the top a bit.
Curl the leaf around the sushi and if desired, poke a hole w/ a chop
stick & secure the roll w/ a firm matchstick of juilienned carrot.
This is a great way to learn to love the flavors of
sushi. Kale & the briny sea
flavor of nori seaweed pair together famously. The crisp, crunchy, sweet and salty flavors of the fillings
tumble together in harmony.
HARVEST PANTRY HACK :> Keep sunflower & sesame seeds on hand for
flavor, nutrition & crunch.
