There are things I love about sushi and things that I don’t love about sushi. I love the fresh vegetables of a California roll. I love the pretty presentation. I love the idea of consuming more fish, I even love the process of building beautiful rolls and bites. I do not love raw fish. I do not love nori. This recipe is a good compromise for me
