Vegan Maki Roll Rainbow Sushi

Serves: 2

Ingredients

190g Clearspring Organic Sushi, Short Grain or Clearspring Organic Sushi Brown Rice
(if using Brown rice, please follow instructions on pack.)
300ml Water
2 Tbsp Clearspring Organic Sushi Rice Seasoning
2 sheets Clearspring Japanese Sushi Nori-Dried Sea Vegetable (Toasted)

Sushi filling:

A few strips – roasted red peppers or fresh peppers
a couple of blanched asparagus
1/2 a ripe Avocado

To serve:

Clearspring Organic Japanese Sushi Ginger
Clearspring Organic Japanese Yaemon Tamari Soya Sauce
Clearspring Japanese Wasabi Powder
(optional)

Method

Rinse the sushi rice in a bowl with water by gently stirring the rice with your hands, drain and repeat 3 times (or until the water is clear) then add the instructed amount of water and let the rice sit for around 30min or more before cooking on the hob or in a rice cooker.

Prepare the filings while you wait for the rice to soak & cook. Wash & cut the vegetables into long match sticks and set aside on a plate. If you don’t have any of the ingredients, we have listed just be creative and add a variety of colourful vegetables available to you.

Rolling the sushi:
Place the sushi nori shiny side down on the sushi mat. Wet your hands and place the seasoned sushi rice and spread it evenly – around 1cm high – leave around 1 inch onthe top.

Place the fillings at the bottom and gently roll the sushi keeping the filling in place with your fingers. Roll firmly but do not press so hard as the rice will come out of the sides.

Roll until you reach the end of the nori sheet and squeeze again. You can leave the sushi rolled in the mat until you eat it or remove from the roll and cut with a wet
knife in to 6 or 8 pieces. Once you roll one, you will be a pro! Practice makes perfect. Enjoy making sushi with your family, little ones or with your friends as a fun lunch or dinner party.
