Vegetarian Brown Rice Sushi RollsRomulo Yanes

Brown rice is not traditionally used for sushi in Japan, but since it's such a healthy whole grain, we've decided to bend the rules. You'll have leftover vegetables, which are great for salads.

Active time: 25 min Start to finish: 1 1/4 hr

Cooks' notes:

• If you prefer to use white sushi rice, cook the same amount of rice with 1 cup water 15 minutes. Omit all soy sauce from rice and replace with 1/4 teaspoon salt dissolved in 2 tablespoons rice vinegar. • If you aren't able to find seasoned rice vinegar, dissolve 2 teaspoons sugar in 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar. *Available at natural foods stores and some supermarkets. **Available at Asian markets and sushifoods.com.
