(Bad picture alert today.)
Who doesn’t love a meal that is both nutritious and easy? Well, I have just that for you today. I can’t take credit for it though, my sister-in-law pointed me in the direction and I’m glad she did.
For those of you with a Trader Joe’s within reach, have you ever had their Roasted Seaweed? It’s usually in the chip aisle in a small rectangular package, either green for the regular or blue for the wasabi flavor. They are a great snack that our whole family devours! If you don’t have access to TJ’s, you might be able to find a suitable substitute.
I’ve titled this quick dish Open Face “Sushi” Stir-Fry. Don’t you think I come up with the most ingenious dish names (wink, wink)? Feel free to use your favorite stir-fry veggies or even add diced beef, chicken, or tofu, if desired. I made my original dish with coconut rice, but I think it would have tasted more sushi-like with rice and flavored rice vinegar (I’m doing that next time).
Open Face Sushi Stir-Fry
add diced beef, chicken, or tofu (optional)
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups white rice
- 16 ounces Stir-fry Vegetables
- 1/4 teaspoons ginger, ground
- 1/4 teaspoons black pepper
- 1/4 cups rice vinegar
- 2 packages roasted seaweed
- soy sauce
Instructions
1. Make rice according to package directions. While cooking...
2. Stir-fry/steam vegetables. When vegetables are crisp, add a dash of ground ginger and black pepper.
3. When rice is finished, stir in flavored rice vinegar.
4. Layer a couple tablespoons of rice on top of roasted seaweed, followed by the stir-fry vegetables. If soy sauce is allowed, add a touch of it to your "sushi".
Pull together your sides and eat...this is finger food!

This looks like something I’d love – although not sure my kids would like the seaweed. Especially after Rylen’s experience at the lunch table last year
You might be surprised about your kids liking the seaweed. It’s almost like a potato chip…sorta. Most kids that try it at our house love it, even ones whose parents never would.
What an intriguing recipe idea! I’d love to try out this dish with brown rice and roasted tofu.
Oh, brown rice and roasted tofu would be a great combination for this dish! Thanks for the suggestion!
