Sushi Rolls or Californian Rolls

The boys love homemade rolls to take for school lunches, although they often have to be restrained from polishing all the rolls off when I make them the night before. They report that my rolls are way better than the $2.50 version from their school canteen.

I’m not a big fan of raw fish, so I often make Californian rolls, chicken, tuna or pork floss rolls.

For the sushi rice

2 cups of sushi rice (will make 5-6 rolls)

2 cups of water

2 tbsp caster sugar

2 tbsp sushi vinegar

Method

1.          Wash the rice until the water runs clear.

2.          Cook in electric rice cooker.

3.          Spread hot rice in a bamboo bowl (sushi-oke) or any non-metallic bowl.

4.          Sprinkle on the sugar and vinegar and mix until evenly spread.

5.          Let the rice cool before you start rolling.
