Nori Wraps

Note from Cheri: In Japan, you'll find all kinds of ingredients wrapped in sheets of roasted nori or sea vegetable. Traditionally there will be a thin layer of rice, then the filling of choice (we like to use tuna salad, crab salad, egg salad etc.). Those on a low carb diet can eliminate the rice. These are basic instructions more than a recipe. What you fill your nori with is entirely up to you.

1 large sheet roasted nori 3-4 T sandwich filling of choice such as tuna salad or egg salad additional ingredients are similar to sandwich garnishes: lettuce, sliced avocado, sprouts, sliced onion or tomato, etc. 1/4 C cooked rice (optional)

Recipe Makes 1 Wrap Multiply by the amount you want to make Place a sheet of nori on a plate and add a thin layer of rice,if desired, down the diagonal center, top rice with a layer of sandwich filling and andd additional ingredients as desired (we used avocado and sprouts in the photo). To fold the wrap bring up th bottom corner and begin rolling in the sides from the left to right. The technique is much like rolling a burrito. Continue rolling , tucking the ends under each other and you'll have a neat bundle like shown in the final photo above. We opted to leave the top open, but you could also fold the top point down and tuck it under, making a completely nori encased wrap.
