Skip the floating sushi boats and high prices at Japanese restaurants, and make sushi at home. The combinations are endless, and creativity is encouraged. You really only need a few ingredients and a towel (no need for a bamboo mat), and you can get rolling. If sushi rolls aren't for you, fresh poke bowls, sushi sliders, and burritos are light yet satisfying meals that will cure your cravings. Here are easy recipes to get your at home sushi journey started.

View Recipe: "Frushi" with Strawberries and Bananas

Crispy rice treats wrap around strawberries and bananas with chocolate hazelnut spread. These definitely won't be found in a Japanese restaurant but these bite-sized desserts are just as fun to make as they are to eat in your own kitchen.

When it comes to subbing spicy sweet potatoes for spicy tuna in this vegan sushi, we might just support the sushi burrito craze. It's really hard not to love this when it's essentially everybody's sushi dreams in one, portable option.
