Breakfast Roll

I can’t start my day without breakfast. I get cranky, and lightheaded, and, well, it’s not a pretty picture. For me, breakfast is undoubtedly the most important meal of the day (unlike some other people, who refuse to eat breakfast!) So, since certain people refuse to believe my diet consists of anything other than sushi, it makes sense for me to come up with a breakfast sushi.

Because… um… this is what I eat for breakfast every morning. Riiiiight. (Heck, if I had the time and energy in the morning to make this, I would eat this for breakfast every morning!)

Breakfast Roll

Bacon, tamago, and green onion. All perfect in sushi. But it needed something else, something to make it truly a breakfast roll. Shoyu just didn’t do it for me, and maple syrup… way too sweet. Maybe, just maybe… yep, I know what you’re thinking, and yes. I did. A mixture of shoyu and maple syrup did this roll justice, and finished it off perfectly.

If you ever wanted sushi for breakfast? This is your roll.

    lol, you can have onigiri for breakfast… musubis… whatever you want to call them! Come on… not just rolls!

    PS Sure you can make this for breakfast; if your rice cooker has a timer, set it so you wake up to the smell of fresh cooked rice; by the time you’re out of the shower (if you shower in the mornings) you can prep the sushi rice and then whip out the rolling stuff… presto! Umm… maybe that’s just the bento-in-me talking…

    Joel – Well, darn.

    joann – Yep, you could use spam, or smoked salmon, or ham, or even sausage. Really, most any meat would taste delicious!

    Yvo – Well yes, of course. 😉 Too bad my rice cooker doesn’t have a timer. Plus I’m too lazy to do that much work first thing in the morning. 😀

    White on Rice Couple – Yep, breakfast is necessary! If only this were a real breakfast regimen, and not just wishful thinking. 😉

    Janice – Yep, I’ll bet you would. 😀 I agree, they do have an awesome blog. It’s on my list of blogs I always love to read. Hugs back at you! 🙂

    HA! This sounds so good! Of course we might have to subsitute the bacon with… TURKEY BACON!!!!!! HOMG! Because Yue does not eat mammal!!!!!!! >.< Well next time I should but this in my tamago crazy bento (NO joke it’s like a f-ing sea of yellow in my bento) which I just made. I better buy some bacon now.

    And if you don’t have time to make it in the morning, why not make it the night before and eat the next morning. Because on MY mornings I’m like this =_= and can’t physically do anything till my friends come over and scream at me for putting juice instead of water in my coffee machine.
