This week we have jetted off to Japan on the latest leg of our Global Food Tour! ✈️
I had rice and nori left over from our Zoom kitchen on Monday which inspired me to try making my own sushi! For a first attempt I was pretty happy, but my rolling skills need some practise!

Steps

1

Cook the rice, with the vinegar, sugar and salt until sticky. Drain and leave to cool.
2

Chop the veggies into batons and strips (including the spring onion).
3

On your rolling mat place a sheet of Nori shiny side down. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of rice in the centre of the sheet and press out evenly into a 1cm thick rectangle. Dipping your fingertips in the water will help to keep them clean. At the side of the Nori furthest away from you leave about 1 inch of it uncovered with rice.
4

Lay your chosen ingredients out in a strip on top of the rice closest to you. Add some ginger and wasabi (to taste). Brush the uncovered end of Nori with some water from the bowl.
5

Lift the mat closest to you and tuck the ingredients into the roll. Apply pressure whilst you roll up the sushi, you can roll the mat back and forth to make the sushi into a more circular roll. Roll tightly.
6

Repeat with the rest of the ingredients. Use a sharp knife to cut the sushi into 1 1/2 inch pieces. You can also wrap the rolls in clingfilm and cut them through that (it’s a bit easier).
7

To make the sauce finely dice the ginger, then mix with the rice vinegar and soy sauce. You could also serve with some wasabi.
