Definitely sushi-inspired but reminds me more or gimbap which I also love. Looks good though, I would definitely try it!

Looks like kimbap!!

It’s giving Kimbap, tbh. Looks delicious tho

I’d say it’s the baby fusion of kimbap and maki, but leaning more towards maki. As a Korean American, I was taught that the main difference was that: For kimbap, you’d mainly use cooked veggies/meat (with some exceptions like pickled radish/danmuji) and use sesame oil to season the rice and coat the nori. It’s rare to see avocado in kimbap, although some trendier spots started to use it For maki rolls, you’d use raw ingredients and raw fish for the most part other than for tempura, unagi, etc. From what I know of, rice vinegar is used to season the rice

Interesting, I’ll make a note of this 👍🏾

What do you mean it’s giving?

Youth slang replacing “makes me think of….” Instead of “giving ….” I don’t really get it

I think it’s meant to finish with the word “vibes” so “it’s giving *blank* vibes” but people started dropping the last word too.

I think sushi might be used lightly here. But as long you enjoyed it!

I think she is vegan. There are some naturally vegan "sushis" like avacado, oshinko, and sweet potato.

I meant with the quinoa. Lol

Lol! my b

Sushi means rice yo

Gohan means rice Sushi roughly translates to "sour rice". As you add vinegar to the rice when making sushi. You do have a point that you can't have sushi without rice though 😄

Does it really?! Learn something new every day

I thought rice was gohan?

Why tf did I downvoted 💀

Y’all know you can ask these things to gpt and it will explain it to you, right?

You know that normal search engines still exist, right?

Did he pre-soy sauce the quinoa?

Huh, quinoa is an interesting choice. How was it?

AMAZING. For me it was basically the same texture as rice so I really enjoyed it.

I've been wanting to try doing this for a while but haven't bought quinoa in stocked for a long minute. might give it a shot after grocery shopping :)

Did he season it the same as regular sushi rice?

Ohh! That’s something for sure… 😃

10/10 would recommend!

Fucking Reddit, downvoting people for trying new things and honestly enjoying it. It looks tasty.

people here can be so pretentious lmao

Looks good! But it isn’t sushi

When you’re in a pedantic ass contest, and your opponent is a r/sushi regular.

How is it pedantic? There's literally no sushi in the picture. It's not a nit pick, it's just actually not sushi.

There’s sushi out there that legitimately looks terrible, and then there’s this, which TECHNICALLY doesn’t have any rice, but looks pretty decent.

I never said it doesn't look decent. I said it's not sushi. It doesn't TECHNICALLY not have rice. It just doesn't have rice, which is what sushi is.

I don't understand why people are downvoting you, you're entirely correct. It's not sushi, so it doesn't really belong on /r/sushi.

Until you read the many other comments agreeing with the nerd you like to bully.

I’m most impressed by how well he rolled it for his first time. I make sushi maybe 2 or 3 times a year and this looks amazing! Tell him good job!

I'm not gatekeeping here, I'm just flat out telling you: this is not sushi. It may be interesting. It may be good. It may be innovative. But it's not sushi, because sushi is DEFINED by the seasoned RICE - it's the one thing you can't substitute and still have it be the thing.

This.

What about fish? I thought literal, traditional sushi was what we call sashimi here in the states?

*zushi* literally translates to "sour rice"

This is valuable information

No, there's lots of sushi that doesn't involve fish and no, sashimi is not sushi. Maki is sushi and nigiri is sushi and they can both be non-fish.

Thank you. I like how people downvoted instead of answering a simple genuine question. Reddit really is something

You're most welcome. I've been downvoted for trying to help someone and for just stating facts. You can't take it personally!

Looks good. Not sushi. Literally means "on rice" or something. This is more "on quinoa".

interesting choices were made here… huh. well okay then!

Lmao. It was so good, dare I say it felt like we were having takeout.

i dare you to not say more

say less

Nice first try! Unconventional but sounds tasty

Kimbap is super hard to make imo. This looks nice

Quinoa is sushi now? Pass

It’s healthier than rice.. it’s not a bad substitution

Bc rice is famously unhealthy.

How could a billion Chinese people be wrong?

Thumbs up for the lost boys reference

Maggots, Michael. You're eating maggots, how do they taste?

Rice is objectively very high in starch. Idgaf what a billion Chinese people say. It’s a fact, lol.

There's nothing wrong with starch or carbs I'm so tired of this dietary misinformation. There's nothing wrong with fats or sugars either fyi, and I KNOW the thing is to blame all of our problems on sugar but we're talking massive quantities of processed sugar and corn syrup, not dietary sugars in general. Please, for the love of god, actually educate yourself about this stuff.

You said nothing, starch is not unhealthy

Better than eating maggots

[удалено]

>A cup of cooked quinoa has more than 39 grams of carbohydrates. That’s 50% more than in the same amount of brown rice and almost as many carbs as in white rice. Really?

I doubt it. Quinoa objectively has more fat, fiber, and amino acids (plus other nutrients like zinc, potassium, etc) than brown rice, plus has fewer carbs. https://www.baptisthealth.com/blog/health-and-wellness/brown-rice-vs-quinoa-health-benefits-of-each Still wouldn’t use in sushi tho.

[удалено]

From what I find, basmati and brown rice have a GI of 50 but you might be right, either way if I'm not wrong, isn't it important to have a low glycemic load? So as long as you get something like brown rice you should be fine.

This is misinformation on multiple different levels. I hope it makes you feel better.

It’s just not sushi? It’s no more sushi than pasta wrapped in nori would be

It had a similar taste and texture of brown rice, it was delicious!

Yeah, it looks good. Idk why I’m getting downvoted by sushi snobs. Jeez, lmao.

It’s because it’s not rly sushi. It might be delicious, yes, but- the rice is actually considered more important than the fish (which there also isn’t any of in this lol). Sushi means “sour rice” This is closer to a quinoa kimbap roll.

Thanks for this, will definitely tell him to look into more kimbap recipes.

FYI- kimbap literally means seaweed rice. It’s not kimbap because there’s no bap.

At least it had the kim tho 😅 it’s still not quite kimbap, but I maintain that it’s closer to seaweed rice than sour rice lol

Who cares if it’s not really sushi. Tomato tamato. Good lord

I'm sure r/sushi would care lol 

Why are you in r/sushi then? It looks really tasty, unique and fun and he did a great job rolling it, but it's not wrong to say what it is and what it isn't. It's most definitely not tomato tamato.

Dude, chill. We are discussing literal food. Don’t get so hurt because a food isn’t exactly the way you’d eat it. I’m not shooting a baby over here.

But you are 100% in the wrong.

This is a subreddit dedicated to the love of a type of food. Please explain what I was hurt by? I don't care how people eat anything. All I was saying was that it's not sushi. Why is that so offensive to you? I'm happy she's enjoying it, I'm happy her bf made it for her and that it's unique and to their taste. Sushi culturally is defined by "vinegar rice" Why is it so offensive a group of folks in r/sushi who love sushi are saying it's not sushi? lol edit: also, my main thing was responding to YOU, not her. Who said "who cares if it's not sushi" in a sushi subreddit.

Yeah and I was responding to YOU. chill out. It may not be conventional standards, but it looks good. Someone could but Ragu from the store and call it Italian. So what if it’s not *perfect sushi* it’s just food. Damn some Reddit people are sensitive

Is that.... quinoa? Oh no...

oh HELL no...

Y'all ever heard of r/sushiabomination?

Most of those are technically close to sushi because well they contain sushi aka sour rice

def belongs.

Look up gimbap recipe, you will enjoy those as well!

“sushi”

It looks good but i wouldn't call it sushi

Is it just me or does the rice look off?

none of that is sushi wtf

🤢🤮

This is literally not sushi but go off

[удалено]

Lmao, had no idea it was so cut throat in here

Tbf you literally took the sushi out of sushi, as sushi in japanese means sour rice. Edit: dont look bad though id try it for sure

How is it cut throat? Pedantic? Maybe. But not cut throat. (And yes, I appreciate the irony.)

Not understanding vegan sushi is still sushi is such a dumbass take ngl.

Sushi can be vegan. The only requisite of sushi is seasoned rice, which this lacks.

Bless your heart

The way I said “is… is that quinoa?” out loud

Looks lovely, but that’s not sushi

First time on this sub, but come on guys, she enjoyed it and had a nice experience with her bf. I'm glad you enjoyed it! This is definitely more on the kimbap side than sushi (I'm Korean and I make kimbap at home a handful of times every year). I've never had quinoa in mine, but I can see someone liking it if they're not a fan of white rice. I would try it again with medium or short grain sticky rice, mixed with sesame seed oil and a bit of salt for seasoning for the next one. I usually put pickled radish, sauteed and julienned carrots, some protein(ham or tuna with mayo), eggs, etc. You can also kinda put whatever side dish in them, and I've had a lot of different variations growing up since every family seems to make them slightly differently. A lot of families put various vegetable side dishes that they have laying around in the fridge. Most common one being a spinach side dish, or soy sauce braised root vegetable based side dishes. So the fact that you put in leftover mushrooms from the previous night is true to form in some way and I approve.

Hey, parkyy, thanks for the feedback! Neither of us are huge fans of white rice, so the quinoa was a really nice substitute. Definitely saving this comment for future recipes. Thanks, again. Have a good one!

I hate to break it to you but this isn't sushi. It's kimbap. Looks amazing though! He did a great job! Perfectly rolled. Better then many rolls.

Ohhhh I was trying to figure out why the rice looked weird..! Seems like an interesting take, I might have to try this

It’s a bastardization for sure, but looks great. The people here are worse than pizza snobs

Now the Japanese know what it feels like for Mexicans when Americans substituted flour for corn tortillas🤣

Considering flour tortillas are eaten in Northern Mexico, as well as in states that used to be part of Mexico and are the ancestral homes of Mexican Americans, I don't think you have any idea what you are talking about.

lol I am Mexican and born in Cuernavaca in Morelos, and traveled in the north, center and south of Mexico. Flour tortillas may be available, but they are absolutely not popular. My family also owned a restaurant and food is a huge part of my upbringing and culture. I think I have a good idea about Mexican cuisine 😆

Flour tortillas are incredibly popular in Sonora. You don't know what you're talking about. Mexico is a big place. You're like someone from New York claiming that makes them an expert on Cajun food.

Sure, most people in Mexico eat corn tortillas, but to pretend flour tortillas aren't also Mexican is just plain silly. As you surely know, Mexico is a large and diverse country with very regional foods.

😂

Well done King

Quinoa?.. uhhh

I just went through that Donald Glover community meme where he walks in with the boxes of pizza

🤢🤮

It’s kool for you, and you enjoyed the effort, but hard pass

Yay boyfriend!! Bravo!!

Based on what is there you should try Yama Imo Ume Shiso Maki. I really like saying it but it is my favorite vegan roll. Mountain potato, pickled plum, and Japanese mint.

Dang you’re lucky. Where did you find such an amazing man??? 😭🙏🩷

OH MY GOD TO BE LOVED THIS DEEPLY :,) :,) i might just die

Omg they look super delicious!!!!!

I had vegetarian sushi for the first time recently, and sushi has been my favorite food for the better part of 20 years. I was pleasantly surprised!! So this looks pretty darn good! 😋

Get that qouina s outta here. Why not use rice????

whats that name of that sub that has sneaky feet picks lmfao

Sir this is a Wendy’s 😂

😂😂👍 Sushi lookin like it smacks tho! Hope you enjoyed.

Look into adding the sweet pickled radish in there and it'll bump up the flavor.

I like it! What’s the technique for keeping quinoa sticky?

I would try it. How is the tofu prepared?

I was wondering what was wrong with the rice…

I agree that while it’s not really “sushi”, it still looks innovative and fun! Don’t listen too much to the people leaving negative comments. I’m glad you were able to have a fun time with your boyfriend!

Aww, thanks! :D

Honestly it looks extremely tasty.

ew

This looks like some good gimbap

K

These should only be posted as a "before" pic.

Looks delicious, but how is quinoa in a roll like this? I've only had it a couple of times, mostly in like salads and similar.

looks great!!! i want to make this now!

Have you considered being the one to propose?

He’s a keeper for trying

So much soy sauce 😫

That's straight up gimbap.

first time?? heck yeah looks amazing

my boyfriend did this. how about all single guys roast this girl for having a boyfriend who cant cook and now this poor thing will end up with food poisoning

I was wondering why it didnt look like sushi. 🍣 no fake crab meat.

You have found someone called a golden flag, you have 2.3 milliseconds to propose to that quickly! RUN!

I am both horrified and interested.

Not sushi

yuck

Did you give him a head and ride him hard on reverse?

Yum!!

I thought that 'rice' looked odd

how old is your rice? looks kawaii btw :3

pov ur white

I would eat all of that

Good job on brushing off the snobs💪. Looks delish!!

Thanks haha! I’m being dragged to Sushi jail apparently

I'm goin with ig 😭

Gross!

It saddens me to see so many people put dislikes in OP’s comments. I’m not a vegan/vegetarian but this dish looks nice and it’s lovely to know her boyfriend took the time and care to make it. They enjoyed it and that is wholesome! Also the dog in the background is too cute!

We tend to steer more towards vegan/vegetarian dishes so it turned out to be so delightful! And the pup Rosie stared at us the entire time we ate 😂

r/foodandsaddogs

I really don't understand all the hate going on here?? I'm glad y'all liked it :)

Lol I had no idea this many feathers would be ruffled on this fine Tuesday. And thank you, they turned out so good!

Omg please give me the tofu recipe!

Nice food-to-rice ratio

Good job!

I would inhale that.

That looks good. This sub sucks.

This is like when a white person wears an Afro

Looks delicious! However, this is literally the worst sub to post something like that in. I've learned that this sub is completely unfriendly for beginners or people who aren't looking for perfection.

[удалено]

You’re hung up on the chopsticks here?! With everything else it’s the chopsticks?

it looks good, especially for a first time! yea it's not traditional sushi but people don't need to be so snobby about it😭

*op's SO creates sushi adjacent/inspired food item* r/sushi "ItS nOt SuShI" Who hurt you people?

well, it isn't sushi.

Because it quite literally isn’t sushi. Making something LOOK like sushi, does not make it sushi.

Why would you use slave labor rice

Are those…. Croutons!? 😂

Your bf is on some king shit

You just made him smile 🤘🏾

I'm just here to watch the subreddit burn. That looks super tasty, healthy, and close enough to sushi for a reddit post to me.
