Golden Sushi Rice With Pan Seared Asparagus

An amazing dinner.

Happy April Fool's Day and the start of National Poetry Month.
I attempted to make sushi last month and it came out an absolute disaster. However, I realized while devouring the remainders of sushi rice that it was good outside of the nori wrappers. That is not to say that I won't try to make sushi again.

A super early joke-- bad sushi rolling. At least the filling was delightful: roasted carrot, avocado, sushi rice, and black sesame seeds.
Golden sushi rice is sprinkled with turmeric to have that beautiful yellow hue and nori adds chewy, flaky texture and a "fishy" flavor. Charred garlicky asparagus and a scoop of avocado makes for an overall satisfying meal. It takes a lot of precious time, but well worth the pleasing end.
