This is the part where I would usually give you the okay to "indulge", but I can't with this recipe! Other than the sodium content that comes with soy sauce... this recipe is super healthy and high in protein! So please, simply enjoy (and watch your sodium intake).

2 15oz cans black soybeans, drained and rinsed (which I cannot find anywhere)
2 tbs toasted sesame oil

Sushi
4 sheets of sushi nori (comes in larger sheets than regular nori)

2 carrots, cut into 16 5in by 1/8in strips
1 pickling (Kirby) cucumber, seeded and cut into 8 equal strips
1. Combine all Bean Spread ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Add a little bit water if necessary to make it spreadable. The mixture should remain thick. Add more ginger and/or soy sauce if desired.
