What do you get when you cross a fried pig with a nutty monkey? I have no idea, but it tastes surprisingly good! (Yes, I know my titles are a little crazy and somewhat dorky sometimes. 😀 ) Ok, so it’s not quite sushi although it does use sumeshi [1]… but I figured why not? 🙂 This is one of those things that actually taste a lot better than they sound. It has a nice gooey crunchy sort of texture to it, and would make a great breakfast food. Another thing you might like to try is to omit the bacon and sumeshi [1], and sprinkle powdered sugar on the finished peanut butter-banana wonton things. I made a few of those, and they would make an amazing dessert! Just make sure you serve them almost immediately so they are crispy when you eat them.
So… what else would you like to see up here? I’m always open to your ideas, so feel free to leave a comment or contact me [2] with your sushi requests!
I got the idea for this from “Sushi American Style” [3] by Tracy Griffith, although I changed it slightly to better suit my purposes.
