3. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with the Mirin and Brown Rice Vinegar and leave to cool for 20mins.

How to roll the Sushi…

1.Place Sushi Nori on a bamboo mat at the edge nearest to you. Spread the rice evenly over 2/3 of the Nori, with the uncovered part facing away from you. Add your favourite fillings on top of the rice (slightly off centre)
2. Roll the bamboo mat slowly, start by tucking in the end of the Sushi Nori nearest to you. As you roll further, press lightly with both hands.
3. Just before you reach the end, dab water along the open end and then press to seal the roll.
4. Carefully remove the roll from the mat. Cut into approx. 6 pieces, using a lightly moistened sharp knife.
