Quinoa and Veggie Sushi
Friday night is usually Make it Your Way Pizza at my house. The kids and friends are always coming and going at different times, so on Fridays I lay out a load of ingredients and let everyone make their own pizza or other Make it Your Way idea I might get during the week……. Make it Your Way Chef Salad, Make it Your Way Stir Fry…..o.k. yes I feel like a Mongolian Chef, but the kids actually cook it up themselves now that I stocked up on a few Woks. We also do Make it Your Way Taco Bar, but Make it Your Way Sushi is really the best. I make a big pot of Sushi Rice, a pot of Quinoa and cover them with a damp towel. They keep well and everyone can put what they want in their rolls. I put out smoked salmon and tofu along with lots of different Veg and all the goodies that go with it. Wasabi, Pickled Ginger and Saki…for me.
