Method

  • step 1

    Cook the sushi rice following pack instructions. Tip out onto a plate, sprinkle with the rice vinegar and sugar, and a little seasoning, mix gently, then leave to cool.

  • step 2

    Lay the nori sheets out onto a chopping board and spread over the sushi rice in even layers. Lay over the coriander leaves, red pepper, salmon and cucumber slices, in even layers, on top of one another, halfway across the nori sheets. Fold the other half over and press to seal. Serve with soy sauce for dipping.

Cook's notes

  • Sushi rice is a short-grain variety traditionally used in sushi making. Nori are dried and pressed sheets of seaweed used to encase sushi. Both are available from large and Asian supermarkets, and online. Sushi-grade salmon is available from select fishmongers. As an alternative, buy the best quality salmon possible, as you’re eating it raw.
