Ginger stimulates circulation.
Ingredients:
12 cup millet
2/3 cup quinoa
2 cups water
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp brown rice syrop
1 organic carrot
½ cucumber
1 celery stalk
1 green onion
½ avocado
1-ich piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
4 sheets of nori (toasted)
Dipping Sauce:
1 tbsp. Braggs Liquid Aminos
1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
1 tbsp water
½ tsp honey or brown rice syrup
1 ½ sprigs scallions, minced
Directions:
Cook grains, cool and add lemon juice and brown rice. Cut the carrot, cucumber, celery, onion and avocado into julienne strips lengthwise. Steam the carrot and ginger pieces for 5 min. and allow to cool.
Place several tablespoons of grains on the nori sheet. Smooth the grain evenly over the sheet to a thickness of ¼ to 18 inch, so that it covers all except the last inch or two farthest away from you. Arrange vegetables in two or three horizontal rows on top of the grain. Tuck over the edge closest to you and keep rolling. When you come to the end of the grain, lightly moisten the last inch or so of bare nori, and let the pressure of the roll and your hands seal it. With a sharp knife cut the roll into 5-6 pieces. Repeat for the remaining nori sheets. Make 15 pieces.
Note: If nori is not toasted, hold it over a gas flame or roast in a saucepan until it turns green. When it is not toasted, it is much tougher and may crumble when you try to eat it.
