I’m a big fan of vegetarian cuisine and the art of imitation meat. I’m most intrigued by Buddhist vegetarian foods. Their dishes look like meat, but are actually made of a combination of tofu, wheat gluten, and other amazing ingredients. (For example, making vegetarian roasted pork from wheat gluten.)
One ingredient commonly used in Asian vegetarian dishes is bean curd (tofu). It’s made from curdled soymilk (similar to how cheese is made from milk). It comes in many forms and textures.
Dried bean curd skins are a form of bean curd. It’s found in Asian grocery stores often in the dried goods area. It’s yellow in color. They come in either rolls or wraps.

I think it was the atmosphere and the layout of this restaurant that caught my attention first. It had a very hip and trendy feel to it. The furniture was monotone, but the splash of pinkish light from the sushi bar in the back made the restaurant vibrant. The restaurant was pretty dimly light in the inside, but the big glass windows let a lot of light in during the day. They allowed the people passing by, to check out what customers are eating, and what’s going on in the restaurant.
Planet Sushi is located on 860 Washington Avenue, in Miami Beach. It’s a French sushi restaurant. I believe they have multiple locations in Paris, and are pretty well known there.
