I thought this was excellent, and my family agreed. I omitted the red onion and the wasabi, and replaced it with avocado cubes. I added this individually so it wouldn't become mashed up along with the salad. This was just my personal preference. Next time I might throw in some smoked salmon. I'll definitely make it again.

This was delicious, and very easy to make. It really tastes like sushi, but without the expense or effort. The only substitution I made was to use chopped green onions instead of red onions, and I had a bowl of chopped nori on the side, so that family members who don't like it didn't have to add it. In the future, I may try this with a small amount of steamed chopped fish, or diced avacado. Steamed diced carrots would also add some color to it.

Love this. We moved to rural America and it's very difficult to get some of the ingredients I use to get at market. However, I happened to have a stash of some Kimchi flavored seawood laver snacks. These are new to me about a year ago, but I love them. I used them (little square, fried seaweed pieces) to place a spoonful of rice salad on. Yummy! I think the laver brand was Sea Friend in a red package. Look for them at your Oriental or Korean markets. This made a delicious snack/lunch. <br/><br/>I didn't have fresh ginger:( although I'm sure it would have been great. Previous reviews had lots of great suggestions for add-ins. A word of warning, I'm a vinegar lover, and this had a tad too much vinegar for me. However, I didn't want to add sugar. Next time may try a bit less.

My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D
We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank).
I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!!
I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
