2. Prepare toppings. - *Today I made four different toppings, ‘Smoked Salmon & Avocado’, ‘Teriyaki Chicken’, ‘Nattō & Cucumber with Spring Onion’ and ‘Canned Tuna & Mayonnaise with Spring Onion’
3. Cut a sheet Sushi Nori into 6 strips. Nori sheet is usually 20cm long. When you cut it into 6 strips, each strip would be 3.3cm in width. Cut each strip to make 15-16cm long. Offcuts can be used for topping or other dishes.
4. Make small oblong Sushi Rice balls. Usually about 20g of rice is formed into a ball, and that’s quite small. Flatten or hollow the top. - *Note: You may wish to purchase Sushi Moulds, but ice cube tray could be an alternative tool to make many balls quickly.
5. Wrap each ball with a Nori strip with the smooth side out, place toppings on top.
