- 1/4 tsp onion powder
Plum Dipping Sauce
- 2 lg plums, diced
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tbsp minced garlic

Instructions
- Start by marinating your mushrooms. You can do this ahead of time and keep in your fridge until you’re ready to make your sushi!
- Place the shiitake mushrooms in a medium bowl and add all the marinade ingredients. Stir to combine well and coat all the mushrooms. Cover and store in your fridge until ready to roll your sushi
- Next, make your plum sauce. In a small sauce pan over medium-high heat, add all ingredients and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat to medium and let it simmer for about 5 mintues. Transfer the sauce to a blender/food processor and blend until smooth. Place in a covered container and chill in the freezer to chill fast or fridge if you make it ahead of time
- When you’re ready to make your sushi, make the rice according to package directions. I make 6 servings worth of rice
- ** NOTE: I have found warm, sticky rice works the best for rolling. Place the rice in the freezer to cool down if it is still too hot to touch. I also have a bowl of water to keep my fingers wet while rolling to make it easier (since the rice is so sticky)
- While your rice is cooking, sautee your kale in a large skillet with 1-2 tbsp olive oil until it becomes soft. Set aside
- Slice your plum into thin strips
- Roll your sushi with a strip of shiitake, a strip of kale, and strip of plum following this video:

- **NOTE: Don’t overstuff your rolls or they will be very hard to roll
- Slice your sushi into 1-inch pieces, making sure you use a sharp knife (as seen in the video)
- Garnish with sesame seeds and serve with plum dipping sauce. Store leftover dipping sauce in the fridge for next time!
