For the Love of Food

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you see a sea of sliced kiwi fruit? For me it’s desert. It must be some sort of cake or yummy tart. But, in this case, it’s actually sushi! Wild, huh? I don’t believe I would have ever thought to combine kiwi with sushi, but hey, life would be dull if we never thought outside of the box. Sushi Day just has some great recipes!

Originally, this is Sushi Day’s Unagi Ma-Kiwi recipe, but I haven’t been able to come across an unagi in town (Allison has given me a great tip that I will have to eventually try), so, instead, I used tempura shrimp. I know, it’s nothing like unagi, not that I’ve ever had it before, but I’m pretty sure that batter fried shrimp and Teriyaki eel are quite different from one another.

I have to say, the fruity flavor of the kiwi definitely complements the roll! However, my kiwi slices kept falling off. Next time I will just slice it up and put it in the roll.

The next day, I served them with some extra rice.  It makes a great lunch!
