This is my second entry to the 14th round of #steemit-ironchef challenge hosted by @progressivechef! I don't normally enter twice but I had so much left over rice, because I can't eat too much of it, it's so filling! I wanted to make Sushi for a while, I'm telling you I haven't eaten sushi in years! and I used to love it so much! not just because i'm vegan but also because I don't eat white rice or soy.
Whilst I was traveling in South East Asia last year, I found a pack of really high quality Nori seaweed, 100% seaweed no extra ingredients, I wouldn't want to consume. Apparently you can tell if seaweed is good quality if the color is dark, and mine looks almost purple so I believe what the packet tells me is true.

Making sushi is so much fun and satisfying, I wanted use a whole range of ingredients, as you can see from my gif what I put inside the seaweed and how it came together. The red rice was sticky enough to use for the sushi but i'm not the best chef because I don't keep my knives very sharp, so it was quite hard to cut the sushi nicely, here was my best shot.

As for the homemade soy sauce, I don't eat store brought varieties even organic ones because i'm not a big fan of some of the ingredients, I discovered this homemade version, just a a moment of inspiration I had in my kitchen about 2 wexeks ago when I was making my celery entry for iron-chef contest. I used black strap molasses, freshly squeezed lemon, apple cider vinegar and a pinch of Himalaya salt. Its quite tangy, it has a soy sauce effect but it's obviously not the same but I prefer it!
