Vegetarian Rice Wraps #SliceofRice

I recently had the opportunity to try a sample pack of Slice of Rice from Rice Wrap Foods Corporation and I was impressed!

Slice Of Rice is made in the image of sushi restaurant styled rice but without the addition of sugary products. They use high quality, organic rice vinegar to season the rice and the results are tasty: the rice is perfectly textured and almost fluffy. In addition, they are 100% Gluten Free, Vegan & Kosher.

I decided to make vegetable wraps for lunch using Slice Of Rice. I often think that making new foods at home is a good way to introduce picky-eaters to new textures and encourages more adventurous restaurant ordering. Spud, my 5 year old LOVED the rice wraps!

Making sushi at home is not as hard as you might think and using Slice Of Rice made it ever easier: it comes with a bamboo matt, rice and nori sheets:

This is my classic at home Vegetarian Rice Wrap Recipe that I pulled together in less then 5 minutes with the help of Slice Of Rice. Whether you make it from  scratch or use ready-made sushi rice sheets, both versions are delicious! All you need are some chopsticks and a little soy sauce (with or without wasabi) for dipping! Enjoy!
