Most days at work last week I had sushi for lunch, so we decided it was time to try & replicate some at home….

how to make sushi

Equipment & Ingredients

  • Rolling Mat
  • Sushi Rice
  • Nori – the seaweed wrap
  • Rice vinegar/seasoning
  • Pickled, Sliced Ginger
  • Soy Sauce
  • Fillings – we started off tame & used cucumber, red pepper and spring onion (& a little green chilli in some)

Method

Cook rice as instructions on the packet, add rice vinegar & leave to cool for 30 minutes. Then…

  1. Place Nori rough side up on rolling mat & place rice onto two thirds of it
  2. Add filling of your choice then dampen the last third of the nori wih a little water
  3. Carefully roll sushi using mat – keep a tight hold of the roll
  4. Slice with a sharp knife ito slices about 1″ thick
  5. Serve with soy sauce and ginger

Next time we need better fillings as these were a little bit bland. I have avocado and tuna in mind. Any more suggestions would be very welcome!
