Desert sushi is also a bit better with the soy wrapper (mentioned in the above comment), though I've never had the chance to buy them and make them that way at home. If you go buy the bamboo rolling mat (I actually found mine at my local HEB [grocery store]), and make sure you've got sushi rice and nori sheets, sushi is actually pretty easy to make (and so much fun to play with the fillings!)April - Apryl Knight / The Traveling Austin Veganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941080583003536422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923821635828777478.post-76889981653204737332011-04-17T17:29:07.267-05:002011-04-17T17:29:07.267-05:00Wow that all looks amazing!!

She says she buys it from <a href="http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/Articles/Ethnic-Unique-Foods-Ingredients-645/mamenori-soybean-paper.aspx" rel="nofollow">here</a>, and that it can also be found on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00113HH6U?ie=UTF8&tag=dailvegg-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00113HH6U" rel="nofollow">Amazon</a>. <a href="http://www.soywraps.com/" rel="nofollow">Looks like this</a> is the main site - the wraps look so pretty, I might have to get some myself.

You know, I'm not sure where one would buy it, but there's a sushi chain here in Austin called <a href="http://www.howdoyouroll.com/" rel="nofollow">How Do You Roll</a> that offers a "soy wrap" as well as the standard nori wrap. It's a thin green soy-based wrap, and has a very mild taste. Perhaps that would work for you? I've found that the main trick for a good sushi roll is to not put *too* much stuff in it, or else it gets hard to roll and things start shooting out the sides. *laugh* I've had all sorts of great vegan sushi - tofu makes a great filling, and I've even had one with strawberries and apples in it!April - Apryl Knight / The Traveling Austin Veganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941080583003536422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923821635828777478.post-5809432523562151332011-02-12T22:58:59.501-06:002011-02-12T22:58:59.501-06:00What a feast!

I have never had a sushi (non-vegan or vegan) and I am scared to even try it since I hate sea vegetables and anything that tastes even slightly fishy :-) The ice cream looks great, too!Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05640887063339305700noreply@blogger.com
