Instructions
Rice
-
Cook the sushi rice for about 15 minutes. (You can already start preparing the fillings in this time)
-
Sprinkle some rice vinegar and mix it in before letting it cool down. (mix it several times)
Carrot and Mushroom Filling
-
slice the carrot into strips and fry them in some sesame oil and soya sauce.
-
slice the mushrooms into strips and fry them in some sesame oil.
Avocado and Bell Pepper Filling
-
Cut both the avocado and bell pepper into long slices.
Mango and Ginger Filling
-
cut the mango into long slices.
Making the sushi
-
Take nori sheets and spread the rice over about three-fourths of each sheet.
-
place your filling combination in the middle of the sheet and carefully roll the sheet into a cylinder (you can also use a sushi mat to make things easier)
-
dip your finger in a bit of water and pass it across the last bit of nori sheet so it sticks together and forms a wrap. Store the sushi in a refrigerator for about an hour. (If you are impatient you can continue to the next step now but the sushi will be less sturdy)
-
Take the nori wraps out of the fridge and pass a sharp knife under some water.
-
Cut the nori wraps in half, and then cut those halves in half. Continue to do this until you have 8 rolls of sushi per wrap.
-
Done! serve with soya sauce (for dipping) on the side.
