MikeRomano Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I was wondering if anyone has suggestions as to something healthier that I can replace the rice in sushi with. It is one of my favorite foods and I have recently started making it homemade. Any tried and true substitutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachEVOLUTION Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 What about quinoa? It's like rice..only better! Much better for you too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Steamed cabbage works alright. It's not super filling since it's just vegetables, but it works for a 'sushi craving'http://plantfueled.wordpress.com/2012/04/02/recipe-rice-less-sushi/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRomano Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Ya quinoa would be ideal but getting it sticky enough would be a challenge. Ima have to try the cabbage too, I love cabbage and rarely eat it.Have either of you tried this personally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamqueen Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I sometimes just use tonnes of veggies and don't worry about a grain. So: julienned cucumber, carrot, zucchini, sprouts, avocado, with some shiro miso spread lightly over the nori, which is used to roll up the veggies like regular sushi.

strongtide Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Maybe buckwheat? I find it to have a chewier, more ricey texture. Might be worth a try....Hell, I might try it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
