    Are you looking for rolls to make without rice? I'd like to hear that too because I'm not sure if that's possible.

    otherwise sushi without the rice is just sashimi - just the fish.

    Check out this link - http://www.primal-palate.com/2010/12/rice-free-sushi_27.html

    There are also several types of rice substitute like cauliflower 'rice', konjac rice and quinoa. I think the hard part would be making any of those glutinous and sticky.

    I saw an episode of Chopped the other night where one of the chef's claimed to make the first sushi using Cous Cous. Sounds interesting.

    I wonder what you could do with quinoa ... I make my own and have often tried substitutes ... brown rice is "ok" ... but quinoa sushi would be pretty interesting ... the problem is the lack of starch to make it "sticky" so it doesn't fall all over the place ... anyone try with quinoa?

    Nope.

    Though the foodie in me would find it interesting to look for alternatives ... I'll always make it with medium white rice as it's awesome, but as an alternative I think this thread may be interesting to see ideas.

    Not sure about the fillings, but conceptually it's obviously been done with quinoa ... may try tonight

    My friend makes maki sushi with quinoa. You have to add something to make it stick better. She uses pureed avocado, it was delicious.

    I often make my sushi with a combination of "sushi rice" and sprouted brown rice. It works very nicely. (I know its still rice, but its a lot healthier, not sure if you have allergies or anything.)

    Technically, the word "sushi" refers to the rice. So you can't have sushi without rice. You can foods that look like a typical sushi roll though (for example a cucumber roll instead of a California roll).
    You can also have sashimi (mentioned earlier), which is just raw fish.

    You can try making Temaki zushi and just leave out the rice. I don't have an recipes on hand, but if you look it up you can find some. You might be able to use abura age (fried tofu bags) in place of rice, but I don't know what you could fill it with other than sumeshi (sushi rice).
