Nori Rolls with Brown Rice


I learned from Chef Brad ( if you have no idea who I am talking about you must check out his recipes http://chefbrad.com/) to cook 1-2 grains a week and store them in your fridge so you can add them to recipes. This has really helped in incorporating more grains into my diet. When I cook brown rice for the week I like to make these rolls. These are a easy, quick and a light lunch option especially if you are on the go. They will store in your fridge for a few days and still be delicious. I like to make these the day after I cook fish and use the left over fish in the rolls. I dip mine in Braggs Liguid Amino - if you have not tried it is a great alternative to soy sauce and has the same flavor.

Place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of rice to 2 inches below the top of the sheet. Place chosen vegetable/fish at the bottom of the sheet. Tightly roll from the vegetable end. The nori can be sealed by running your finger with a little water along the seam side. Repeat this process until you have the desired amount of rolls. Slice nori with a serrated knife that has been dipped in water. Dip in your favorite sauce and enjoy!
