Normally bought sushi is a no no for coeliacs as rice wine vinegar (which has gluten in it) is usually in the rice......but this can be exchanged very easily for white vinegar, making it ok for coeliacs. So I made sushi today, and incidentally it was the first time I had made it. I followed an Annabel Langbein recipe for the rice and filled them with strips of carrot, red pepper and cucumber, and avocado and salmon. I simply swapped the rice wine vinegar for white vinegar and it tasted just like store-bought. I didn't have a sushi mat, but used a damp teatowel to help in the rolling part. The only thing I was a little disappointed with was the amount of rice I ended up with didn't go as far as I had planned...so now I know for next time to double the amount. The other thing to note for coeliacs is the dipping of the sushi - soy sauce is a no no - however tamari sauce which is pretty similar in taste is ok.
So my first forray into sushi making was a success......I'll be making it again......
If you have never made sushi - have a go. It was fun and tasted great. Plus it was cheaper to make than to buy it.
