One of my favorite things to eat is sushi. Without fail, whenever Jaryd asks what we want to order in or where we want to grab food I’m all eager beaver, “sushi?!” without hesitation. I’m pretty stuck in my ways and get the same rolls over and over.
I used to be more adventurous, but I developed some aversions during my pregnancies that haven’t completely gone away. I ain’t mad, though, I am a-ok eating the same sushi rolls over and over without getting sick of them.
As I thought about my sushi love, I kept asking myself – how can I make this an easy, everyday meal? How could I make this so someone could pack it for lunch or make it for an easy and fun party appetizer. I took fuss out of the equation by nixing the rice, and I love that you just roll these up and don’t have to deal with the tight roll and the perfect slicing needs specialty training. I’m telling you guys, this recipe is no fuss but fulllll the fun.
