Steps

1

Cook Rice with slightly less amount of water to achieve firmer texture. Make Sushi Vinegar by mixing Rice Vinegar, Sugar and Salt.
2

When Rice is cooked and steamed, pour the Sushi Vinegar over the HOT rice, then empty it into a large mixing bowl. Mix it well gently and thoroughly, fanning the rice with a fan or piece of cardboard to help the rice cool quickly. Cover the Rice with a damp cloth to stop the Rice drying out.
3

When the Rice is cooled, mix with other ingredients. Some ingredients are more suitable for topping. Decorate Sushi Salad as you like. Mix Japanese Mayonnaise with some Soy Sauce, and drizzle it over OR serve with the sauce.
