Ingredients

Quantities are shown as originally provided.

  • 3 cups uncooked rice
  • 1 10cm Kombu kelp strips (*or kombu dashi powder)
  • ½ cup rice vinegar
  • 1½ tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 150 g Sashimi grade tuna
  • 150 g Sashimi grade squid
  • 150 g Sashimi grade octopus
  • 1 a small jar of Salmon roe
  • 4 eggs
  • 20 Shiso Leaves
  • 1 250g tin tuna
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 small cucumber
  • 20 Nori sheets cut into smaller pieces (I cut one sheet into 6)
  • Wasabi (optional)
  • Soy sauce and mayonnaise for dipping

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the sushi rice as per your rice cooker instructions or in a pot. Before adding the water to cook the rice, mix in the dashi powder then pour over the rice or add a kombu strip. (making perfect sushi rice)

  2. 2

    While the rice is cooking, in a small pot, heat the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt together to make the sushi vinegar on medium heat until the sugar dissolves.

  3. 3

    Break eggs into a small bowl and pour into a frying pan over medium heat. Cook for about a couple minutes and flip it over. Turn the heat off and take it out on to a chopping board to cut into small size rectangle sheets. *2

  4. 4

    Slice tuna, squid and octopus into thin strips.

  5. 5

    Cut the cucumber thinly.

  6. 6

    Plate all the fillings on one big serving dish or if you have lazy susan type thing like we used in the photo.

  7. 7

    Once the rice is cooked, (remove the kombu strip if you used a kombu strip) pour the sushi vinegar over it and mix to flavour the rice while fanning it to cool down the rice.

  8. 8

    Serve the sushi rice along with the fillings on the table. Self roll the sushi.
