There are a number of versions of sushi. This site contains recipes for sushi rolls. http://www.dlc.fi/~marianna/gourmet/4_14.htm This is another for vegetable rolls. http://www.recipesource.com/ethnic/asia/japanese/01/rec0105.html This site offers a simple vegetable sushi roll for kids to make. http://familyfun.go.com/recipes/family/feature/dony0400sushi/dony0400sushi2.html
2 :
Omelette When making fukusazushi, paper-thin omelette may replace a sheet of nori as the wrapping. The omelette is traditionally made in a rectangular omelette pan (makiyakinabe), and used to form the pouch for the rice and fillings. The Wiki Cookbook has a sample recipe Inari-zushiAll sushi has rice in it, but not all sushi uses nori as a wrapper. Inarizushi, which translates to stuffed sushi, encloses the rice and filling in a pocket made of paper-thin omelet, fried tofu, or a cabbage leaf. What follows is the recipe for an omelet wrapper. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Inarizushi Toppings and fillings Vegetables Pickled daikon radish (takuan) in shinko maki, various pickled vegetables (tsukemono), fermented soybeans (natto) in nattō maki, avocado in California rolls, cucumber in kappa maki, asparagus, yam, tofu, pickled ume (umeboshi), gourd (kampyō), burdock (gobo), and sweet corn mixed with mayonnaise. these sites will help you on your way to making sushi
3 :
You need seaweed wrap things. I use sticky rice, shredded carrots, avocado, onion, and cucumber. Just lay it on the wrap, roll, and wet the last bit of wrap so it will stick (kind of like a rolled cigarette).
4 :
Cook Sticky rice (kona rose is a good brand ) work with wooden paddle while sprinkling with japanese rice wine vinegar. place on Nori(pressed seaweed), place on a bamboo mat and spread rice 1/4-1/2 " thick. place juilline veggies(your choice , gr. beans, carrots.asparagus) or avocado on the bottom third of the rice, roll 1 turn tightly, pressing on the bamboo to tighten. Roll the rest of the way. wet the end of the Nori with water in your finger tips to seal.
5 :
Simple as long as you can prep up the ingredients together. I'll explain that. You need rice, seaweed wrap, vegetables, and a maki roller (the sushi wraper, bamboo perfered). You prep up the rice the way you want, normally, 2:3 rice to water ratio. This varys with the rice cooker. See the manual. Then you want to add seasoning to the rice, which you can get at Asian markets. Put the seaweed wrap on the maki roller. You evenly space the seasoned rice onto the seaweed wrap. You don't want it too thick, or your wrap will "explode". Just spread enough to not see the seaweed through the top when you look down to the rice facing up side. Put your vegetables on the either end of the wrap horizontally. So you would put it on the long way across. Now, the critical part. You wrap it. You want to start from the vegetable side going into the blank side. DON'T PRESS ON IT. You just want to put littlest force as possible. Just wrap it so that the wrap sticks. Get your kitchen knife or sushi knife, sharpen it, wet it with room temperature water, and cut it in the middle. Pull the knife to you, not away from you. AND DON'T SAW THE SUSHI. it's not a block of wood. Put the two sushi sections together, side to side, and cut it again into two more sections. You should end up with 6 parts. Dish it and enjoy!
6 :
To get good quality and excellent recipes, check out www.allrecipes.com They have over 1,000 of recipes that is submited by users of the site, you can search by ingredients, ethnic/regional, etc. They also have a rating system, so you would know what recipe is good and what recipe is not good. plus you can change the amount of servings and the site will automatically adjust the measurements for the ingredients. and of course, you can learn how to make the stuff Good luck
7 :
Cucumber and Avocado Sushi INGREDIENTS: 1 1/4 cups water 1 cup uncooked glutinous white rice (sushi rice) 3 tablespoons rice vinegar 1 pinch salt 4 sheets nori (dry seaweed) 1/2 cucumber, sliced into thin strips 1 avocado - peeled, pitted and sliced DIRECTIONS: Combine the water and rice in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice is tender and water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and stir in the vinegar and a pinch of salt. Set aside to cool. Cover a bamboo sushi mat with plastic wrap to keep the rice from sticking. Place a sheet of seaweed over the plastic. Use your hands to spread the rice evenly onto the sheet, leaving about 1/2 inch of seaweed empty at the bottom. Arrange strips of cucumber and avocado across the center of the rice. Lift the mat and roll over the vegetables once and press down. Unroll, then roll again towards the exposed end of the seaweed sheet to make a long roll. You may moisten with a little water to help seal. Set aside and continue with remaining nori sheets, rice and fillings. Use a sharp wet knife to slice the rolls into 5 or 6 slices. Serve cut side up with your favorite sushi condiments

Why do Can foods and Health dinners contain so much salt


Why do Can foods and Health dinners contain so much salt?
I would just like to say that so many people choose to eat healthy. In doing so many select healthy foods such as can good foods, Health dinners as Lean Cuisine etc. But if you take a look on the back of the package the sodium level is very high. I was told companies put so much salt in the food to preserve the food is that true?

1 :
Just about everything has too much salt! No wonder we are all dying!
2 :
That was always my belief as well. Salt has been used in many cultures for hundreds and hundreds of years as the only preservation tool.
3 :
To preserve the food.
4 :
The salt in prepared foods is not so much for preservation of the food as it is for flavoring. If you look, these prepackaged foods already contain other preservatives and hardly need salt to function as that. Instead, the salt content of these foods is to make the food taste more "flavorful" to the average person. Consequently they will be more likely to buy it, leading to increased quarterly earning reports , which leads to an increase in the stock prices.
5 :
it helps preserve them so they last longer
6 :
How else are they suppose to preserve it? Der.
7 :
Yes. Salt is a natural preservative. That is why so much is used in foods that need to last a long time. (The ancient Egyptians even used salt when preserving corpses, which resulting in the extraordinarily well preserved mummies, if my memory serves me right.) In the case of stuff like "lean cuisine" and the like, it also makes it a little more palatable when they've taken out the fat.
8 :
IT is to preserve the food.
9 :
While salt is helpful for preservation in canned foods, it's not for preservation in pre-packed, processed food; they've already got preservatives. The American palette has become so used to salted foods that when they aren't salted we consider them to be "tasteless." The salt is only added as a flavoring.
10 :
Because the food is stored it has to be preserved therefore they use salt.
11 :
It is a concern for taste not health and stupidity. America is the fattest country and one of the sickest. See site below under anti-water to see how this makes everyone fatter. American Medical Assoc. has asked FDA to make salt a regulated ingredient so they can force everyone to reduce the amount by half. It is not a food but is a rock. 25% of Americans have high blood pressure. http://phifoundation.org
12 :
The salt is in there to preserve the food. In case you wanna know, 2400mg of salt is one teaspoon and that's about the daily limit for each person. One thing you can do to help is to switch to seasalt. Seasalt has about 70 percent less sodium. It costs more but it is soooooo much better for you. Another thing you can do is empty canned vegetables into a collandar and thouroughly rinse the vegetables to remove all the salt. Hope these tips help you

Rapid Clear (it's gr8!!!)
3 :
The best deal on acne products is at the hardware store. No, not sandpaper. White resin glue, it's cheap it's common and it works better than anything else. Rub it on like any make-up mask product, when it's lear it's dry, peel it off. Be certain to put oil or vaseline on your eyebrows prior to applying glue or you'll lose your eyebrows. Ouch. Do it once and see how much crud it pulls out of your face and you will believe in this method. Do it everyday for 2 weeks then as necessary.
4 :
Dasha, their product doesn't work, at least for me. for e.g proactive is scam, it just made my acne worse so I wouldn't recommend you to use it. Instead drink a lot of water. also I'm using a cheap remedy which is helping me a lot to remove my face severe acne. I found it from this blog: http://acneargh.wordpress.com/ hope this helps

i don't think so... eating fast food once a week won't kill you, but try not to eat too much of it in general. happy 2008!!
2 :
once per week isn't so bad...dependingin what else do you eat the rest of the week!!!! if u eat small portions of food like a salad,soup or a healthy meal...then it reallyshouldn't be so bad for your health......i would recomend not to always get the large or extra large of any kind of food!!! (please make me your best answer!!!)
3 :
if your dieting, as long as you do it once a week its supposed to be better. if you splurge in calories once a week it throws off your body and doesnt let it get used to your diet therefore when you are dieting it works even better
4 :
You're actually not supposed to eat fast food more than 2 times per month
