Forbidden Rice Nori Rolls

With some leftover nori sheets from my Food'N'Flix Onigiri Adventure, I decided to make some rolls for dinner. And, in line with my sheer Saturday laziness, I didn't even cut them. I just served what the boys jokingly called 'nori sausages.'

nori sheets, I used 2 per person
forbidden rice, cooked and still hot*
carrots, julienned
yellow squash, julienned
Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced

*It's crucial that the rice is still hot. That will render the nori more pliable and less likely to crack when you roll it.

Lay your nori sheets on a cutting board. You can use a bamboo sushi mat; I just rolled by hand tonight.

Spoon 3 T of forbidden rice onto one end of the sheet, pressing down slightly so that it covers about a third of your sheet. Lay your veggies in the center of the rice. Then, starting at the rice side, gradually form a roll with the rice and the nori. Pile them, seam-side down. As they sit, the warm rice will seal the rolls. I served these with a dipping sauce of soy sauce and sesame oil for the boys. But Jake and I opted to use The Ginger People's Sweet Ginger Chili Sauce.

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless.
