Hi! Want to make sushi next week, nigiri and maki, but one of my friends is allergic to seafood so wants me to make some non fish ones. obviously i can put cucumber on, but does anyone have any ideas as to what else i could do? something interesting :)

    Here are a couple different recipes I found... don't know how good they are of course :p

    The last one had "suggested fillings" which consisted of

    Japanese pickled ginger, peeled cucumber, sliced lengthwise, mushrooms, peppers, pickles, chopped olives, green onions, vegan cheese, or just about any salad type vegetable you like.

    I heard somewhere that Sushi isn't actually the raw fish, it's the rice or something. They just put fish with it. Don't know if it's true.

    sushi is rice and seaweed with stuff with it, icluding fish. sashimi is raw fish.

    I'm a veggie and I've made loads of non-fish sushi. Bit obsessed with it actually. Avocado definitely :yes: also carrot, beetroot, beansprouts, spring onions, peppers, chilli peppers, smoked tofu... Be experimental.

    I like toasting sesame seeds to dunk sushi rolls in, too.

    Lets just say that in the area I grew up in, the local chinese was the height of the whole multicultural food experience.

    Bean curd sushi is my favourite kind. Smoked as Kimono suggested sounds fabulous - must try it out sometime :yum:
