I love Sushi!  It has always been on the top of list of foods to make myself.  I am not a great fan of rice, but I love quinoa--so I tried to use quinoa instead of rice in my sushi recipe. :)

What you need:

  • Gamboo roll
  • Quinoa
  • Nori
  • Fresh salmon sushi-grade
  • Vegetables to fill (cucumber, carrot, pepper ...)
  • Avocado, Cream Cheese or pure peanut butter can "stick" to quinoa grains.
  • Soy sauce; Fish sauce; Wasabi

You can easily cook quinoa.   For each cup of quinoa, add 2 cups of water.  Cook for about 20 minutes.  Add desired salt / vegetable stock / lemon juice (quinoa absorbs the flavor namely).  Cool down, when done, on a flat plate spread.

Place the nori sheet on the bamboo roller.
