Instructions
- Wash your rice thoroughly with cold water and drain.
- In a pan add 330ml water and your rice, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes with the lid on.
- After 10 minutes, turn off the heat and leave the pan with the lid on for 25-30 minutes. This will complete the cooking of your rice.
- Lay your bamboo rolling mat out with a slice of nori on top. Add a thin layer of sushi rice evenly to the nori, leaving a cm at the end free from rice so it sticks when we roll.
- Around 5cm in from the edge of the rice, add your vegetables in a thin line.
- Roll using your sushi mat, making sure your press down hard to 'squash' the sushi together.
- Serve with wasabi and soy sauce.
