Alma Twomey: There is a great Sushi restaurant tucked in a strip mall in nearby Franfort, KY that my brother and his wife take me to whenever I visit them in Kentucky. They live in a town called Bagdad, I kid not. This is probably the most authentic Sushi restaurant I know after years of eating it everywhere. Typical Japanese refinement, replete with a private dining room that has curtains. The "Green Dragon" is a favorite, and there are many vegetarian offerings. The Shu Mai are great. You wouldn't think such a thing would be in Kentucky, but, then again, what WON'T you see in that state?Lexington, KY is manageable traffic wise and at best a medium sized city and Frankfort is nearby. Finding this place shouldn't be difficult, but damned if I can remember the name. Good Luck....Show more
Connie Dickirson: Well, there are many types of vegetarian sushi. Cucumber, cream cheese and avocado: This vegetarian sushi has the perfect combination of smooth and crunchy! textures. Keep in mind that it is higher fat than some of the other vegetarian options because the cream cheese and avocado are both fat-laden.Tofu and Green Onions: This protein-packed sushi is low fat and delicious. You can try using fresh or dried tofu for variations on this classic.Mushrooms: While many types of mushrooms are popular in vegetarian sushi, the small size and shape of the Shitake makes it ideal for this preparation.Roasted eggplant and zucchini: For a hearty vegetarian sushi, try roasted or grilled eggplant and zucchini. The bold flavors are satisfying, but the resulting sushi is very low fat and healthy.Carrots, daikon radish and cucumber: If what you want in your sushi is big crunch, this may be the choice for you. All three of these vegetables are prepared in thin slivers and wrapped into the center of a sushi roll, that is then sliced. The daikon has a spicy bite to it that is perfectly complemented by the sweet carrot and refreshing cucumber. Often, ! the daikon sprouts are used, as well.Tempura sushi: Sometimes ! sushi is battered and deep fried, tempura style. Vegetarian tempura works quite well with carrots, eggplant, zucchini and sweet potato.Egg sushi: Japanese scrambled eggs, called Oboro, are often used in vegetarian sushi. For those vegetarians who eat eggs, it is not only delicious, but a good source of protein.As for places to go... http://maps.google.com/maps?rlz=1C1DVCC_enUS353US3...You should be able to find plenty there. Call them up and ask them if they offer any of the above dishes?...Show more
Frank Gazaway: It will make no difference with me. I would rather block a user rather than add him as enemy.
Idell Dufort: I'll only talk about vegetarian miso soup as others have covered vegetarian sushi.This is going to be very difficult to find. Miso soup is made up of among other things dashi stock. Dashi stock, in turn, is normally made of shaved bonito flakes. It can also be made from only Shitake mushroom and/or Kombu(seaweed), but this is rare. It would ! also taste slightly different than the traditional miso soup, but that might not be a problem as the miso (soy) is very prominent in miso soup. If you are a strict vegetarian, then you shouldn't eat miso soup. I would have to say 99.999 percent of Japanese restaurants use a combination of kombu and bonito flakes for their dashi....Show more
Shemeka Laker: Good luck! Seriously though, most sushi bars can accommodate vegetarians easily. I'm not a vegetarian but anytime I don't want meat or fish, I can order a large variety of vegetarian sushi. Examples: Cucumber roll, asparagus roll, tamago (egg on rice), inari (a marinated tofu pouch filled with sweet rice), tempura or tempura rolls, shitake (mushroom rolls), japanese plums in sweet rice,Gomai (boiled spinach with a peanut dressing & sesame seeds). Now the vegetarian miso is another story. You'll have to ask around....Show more
