Market and put her recipes into a cookbook called Eating Well with Karin.\u00a0 I have so many bookmarks in this cookbook and I have not been disappointed with any dish I have made.<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-ingredients\"><h3>Ingredients<\/h3><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 1\/2 cups uncooked brown rice<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 3\/4 cups water<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/4 cup rice vinegar, unsweetened<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 tbls sugar<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/2 teas salt<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">3\/4 to 1 1\/4 teas wasabi paste<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 tbls sesame oil<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 tbls water<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 medium carrot, peeled and sliced into matchsticks<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 english cucumber, peeled and sliced into matchsticks<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">3 green onions, thinly sliced<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">3 tbls pickled ginger, chopped and a bit of the pickle juice<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 ripe avocado<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 tbls toasted sesame seeds<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 sheets of nori, cut into 1&#8243;
