Let's see if I get looted for this.

I had a sudden craving for sushi, but only had shrimp, tofu, beef, and vegetables (carrots, avocado, and spring onions) at home.

It's probably more like Korean gimbap than sushi. I still thought it was a valid idea for a spontaneous dinner.

    The only thing you’ll get looted for here is assuming sushi needs fish.

    Get ready to be learnt my friend.

    Sushi is really a term referring to a type of rice prep, and its related constituent cuisine.

    Basically if it has vinegar’d sushi rice, it is sushi. There are plenty of non-fish sushi out there!

    Kimbap uses non vinegar’d rice, sometime plain white or lightly toasted sesame oiled rice.

    The contents themselves are fairly flexible.

    Looking damn good too, 10/10 would inhale.

    Sushi or not the rolling is perfection and the filling to rice ratio is amazing 10/10

    That’s not sushi, that’s a Korean food called kimbap. It’s delicious.

    OP: this might be closer to gimbap

    Comments: *um actually* this is kimbap

    Well, I’ve seen Japanese sushi chefs make cucumber rolls, and I’ve eaten both wagyu nigiri and omelette nigiri at a Japanese sushi restaurant before, so I wouldn’t say fish is necessary.

    This is sushi! The vinegared rice is what distinguishes it from gimbap. Rolls without fish are not rare and there’s no rules saying a mixed vegetable and meat roll isn’t sushi. In fact I think you made a sort of futomaki, one of my favorite sushi rolls. I’m a little sad to see people trying to tell you this isn’t sushi.

    Splitting hairs tbh. The ingredients screams kimbap. But why would anyone say it doesn’t belong in a sushi subreddit. I think it’s close enough that it should be allowed. NOW…the question is whether Futomaki can be considered kimbap?…and would it survive in the a Korean food subreddit? 😂

    Yes, Japanese eat this. It’s called Makizushi.

    I always call it as sushi roll. When I was younger, my mom would give me Makizushi if I had a field trip.

    “Sushi” technically refers to a type of rice
