Summer Sushi Bowl

    I love sushi. For years I hated it and then one day my taste buds grew up and realized it is quite delicious. Of course now that I'm vegan, I'm that weirdo that sits there at the Chinese restaurant poking out half the ingredients, but it's still quite tasty. The sweet rice combined with the seaweed and the crunch of veggies-it's lovely.
    Anywho, I've made my own sushi on several occasions because it is really inexpensive and it makes a nice light meal. However, this last time I tried to make it, I used brown rice which really didn't work because it never got sticky. If you have ever tried making sushi before you know that without sticky rice, it's a lost cause. Not wanting to give up on that wonderful sushi taste, I decided to make a "sushi bowl". Upon completion I realized it's a nice quick alternative for when I don't have time to make a bunch of rolls (because it is quite time consuming). It is also a great summer food for when you just need to eat something cool and refreshing.
