Method

1
In a wok or saucepan (I suggest a saucepan, personally) combine vegetables and sake.
2
Bring to a simmer and let cook until most of the sake is gone, stirring often.
3
Now add the water and miso, bring this to a simmer, and let it cook until the vegetables are soft (but not mushy) stirring often.
4
Next remove the vegetables from the pan and reduce the remaining liquid to a thick sauce consistency.
5
Pour the 'sauce' over the vegetables and mix thoroughly. Let cool.
6
Mix in vinegar.
7
Evenly spread rice over nori, dab half the wasabi across each, then place the vegetable mix across this. Roll tightly.
