Most of the things I cook are pretty simple. If you are looking for a five layer cake recipe you will not find that here. I am pro blender. If you can stick a few ingredients in the blender and make a soup I'm sold!During out last trip to the grocery store..I stopped and chatted with the sushi chef. I asked him how to make a sushi hand roll and he showed me. THIS IS SIMPLE people. The only "hard" part was cooking the rice. I kind of screwed this up...but SHHHH Ian did not notice.
How do you mess up cooking rice? Who knows but I did. It was all crispy and stuck to the pan. Maybe I did not add enough water....Any whoo..
What you will need:
- An assortment of fresh veggies
- Nori seaweed paper
- Brown rice
- Cooked shrimp
I bought way too much shrimp you only need a small handful. You cut them up into tiny pieces to use in your hand rolls.
Place a small amount of moist cooked rice on the sushi paper. Arrange veggies and shrimp on top. Roll it up like a little burrito and Wallla!
Such a simple easy dinner.

I absolutely loooovvveee sushi! This looks fantastically easy and yummy. Don't worry I've messed up rice one, two many times as well!
That looks delicious! I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE sushi. I even have a happy sushi dance (don't worry, I won't show you :) )

Oh my goodies! I am SO making this. Bookmarked.
Oh wow, this this awesome, delish and easy! Going to give this a try. Thanks!
Ah, unfortunately the smell of seaweed makes me gag unstoppably :( I so wish I could eat sushi!
Oh, they're so cute Lindsay and so good of you to use brown rice. I only use sushi rice but should try it with brown for so many reasons. A great summer lunch dish for us.

This looks so good! I've never liked sushi but don't think I've actually had any that was done right. I'm a new follower from Wandering Wednesday. http://www.grandmasguidetolife.blogspot.com
Hmmm...looks yummy and so easy to make.
you always made it so fun and easy. I use the rice cooker to cook rice, just add water and "ting" it's ready, haha..but I guess you probably don't eat rice often enuff to get a cooker.

Beautiful!! I like that you used shrimp. Yum!
Wow, these look delicious. And that avocado....YUM!
Making my own sushi is on my list of "to dos" but, frankly, I have been a bit intimidated {it looks challenging!} but you made it look so easy {and so yummy} I think I need to give a go soon!!!!

I have always wanted to try sushi making! This is awesome- it doesn't look that hard at all! Thanks for opening the door to an amazing and delicious adventure, hehe. :)
I think I might register for a rice cooker- mine always gets soggy and gross!
Thank you for this recipe! I've been dying to make my own sushi, but had no idea where to start!
i love sushi! great tutorial
Forever Chic,

mmmm this made me want sushi! looks yumm!!
These look so yummy! I love Sushi!
I always thought sushi was way hard and you needed one of those bamboo rollers to do it! Who knew? I love sushi but as a vegetarian, there are few places that cater to my exotic tastes. My favorite roll has macademia nuts, cream cheese, avocado and garlic in it. Now I don't have to wait til I'm in Santa Cruz to make it!
ohhh man, you're making me hungry!
This look so good right now! I just recently took a liking to sushi, plus its so fun to make!
By the way...I have always had a hard time cooking rice until my grandma gave me a Martha Stewart cast iron pot for x-mas. It cooks rice perfectly, even better then my rice-cooker!
wow, this is way sweet! I would never think to try making my own sushi!
will have to give it a try :)
Oh, my husband would LOVE this. Can you just live by me & we can do dinner swaps?? Except you would probably get the raw end of the stick with my dinners. :) Thanks for sharing Linds!
Looks easy enough! Good idea getting tips from the sushi chef!!
even though i'm not a huge fan of the sushi paper itself i really love sushi! and this looks so yummy :)

Hehe that being said, sushi is really fun to make. I used to do it really regularly, but stopped because one time I sliced my finger open while trying to julienne carrot sticks. Eeps! :|

LOVE this! The hubster loves sushi but I've never tried it. Thanks for the easy & doable recipe. (I've screwed up rice a number of times too - it's just rice & water, why is this so hard??)
I make a very similar sushi hand roll, i absolutely love it!
