Curious how many readers of this blog out there have tried the soy wraps for sushi and what your impressions are. I am currently recipe testing and some of the recipes in this book use soy wraps. I've tried them at home and don't understand the texture. I am also a traditionalist and much prefer the classic black nori for its minerality and crisp.
I'd love to hear from you if you like, or don't like soy wraps. Just a curiosity for me. Is it because nori is something that people don't like at first?
Looking at the ingredients listed on this company's website it looks like it is filled with things I don't know:
Ingredients: Non-GMO soybean protein,
Non-GMO soy flour, vegetable glycerin,organic soybean oil, waterorganic soybean oil, water, paprika extract color(glycerol, paprika, deionized water, sucrose esters, mono & diglycerides of fatty acids, ascorbyl palmitate, DL alpha tocopherol {vitamin E]).
The soy wraps come in green, yellow, pink, orange, and sesame. It looks a bit like Ninben's katsuobushi sushi wraps.
Thanks in advance for your feedback. It doesn't affect the cookbook at all, just my curiosity. Arigato.
Hi there, I just discovered your blog and I love it! I too have seen these soy wraps but they look so artificial that it's a bit off-putting. I once went to a sushi restaurant where they had a special slicer to make large sheets of extremely thin daikon which they used as wraps instead. I think that is very hard for a home chef to do, but I wonder if there are other options. I do like the regular seaweed wrap too. Please keep posting!
