Unagi Asparagus Roll

Tuna tuna tuna… so many tuna sushi recipes lately! What? I’m catching up for the entire year that I didn’t use any sashimi at all! 😀 A quick break though… it’s an unagi recipe today, and then it’s back to tuna! Mmmmm…

I love asparagus. That might not sound like anything special unless you know that I hate vegetables. Well, I used to at least. When I was little my parents used to make me (and my siblings… it wasn’t just me!) eat our vegetables before we ate the rest of our dinner! I’m getting much better though, not I’ll eat asparagus and most other vegetables without making horrible faces. 😀 So obviously, I had to put some asparagus in a roll, and what better companion than unagi? Seriously. It’s gooood.
