With Tamari-Ginger Dipping Sauce

Whenever I ask someone "what can I bring?" to a gathering, the answer is almost always "rolls!" I love all kinds of rolls, Vietnamese fresh rolls, spring rolls, and these delicious nori rolls! This is a healthy and delicious upgrade to the traditional sushi roll and so easy to make.


Millet is an ancient gluten-free whole grain that is rich in fiber, protein, as well as micronutrients including iron, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus. It also contains more essential amino acids and the highest calcium content of all cereal grains. Considered one of the most digestible of all grains, millet doesn't require soaking. Choosing a sprouted variety will increase bio-availability just note cooking directions below are for un-sprouted varieties.


Sea vegetables (also known as seaweed) including nori are an ingredient lacking in many Western American diets. Sea vegetables offer mucilaginous fiber that can help detoxify toxins and heavy metals. They are often used to help support thyroid function because of their abundance of iodine. If that isn't enough, sea vegetables are considered the highest digestible source of all minerals, as well as energy-boosting vitamins such as B and C.


Nori is not just for making sushi, you can enjoy it as a snack, add thin slices it to salads, soups and noodle dishes, or grind it in a food processor and add it to rice.


All you need to make this dish is:


nori sheets

millet

onion powder

garlic powder

brown rice vinegar (or rice vinegar)

arrowroot

sea salt

sweet potato

tamari (or coconut aminos if avoiding soy)
