Instructions
1 - STEP 1
TO MAKE SUSHI ROLLS: Pat out some rice.
2 - Lay a nori sheet on the mat, shiny-side down.
3 - Dip your hands in the vinegared water, then pat handfuls of rice on top in a 1cm thick layer, leaving the furthest edge from you clear.
4 - STEP 2
Spread over some Japanese mayonnaise.
5 - Use a spoon to spread out a thin layer of mayonnaise down the middle of the rice.
6 - STEP 3
Add the filling.
7 - Get your child to top the mayonnaise with a line of their favourite fillings – here we’ve used tuna and cucumber.
9 - Lift the edge of the mat over the rice, applying a little pressure to keep everything in a tight roll.
10 - STEP 5
Stick down the sides like a stamp.
11 - When you get to the edge without any rice, brush with a little water and continue to roll into a tight roll.
12 - STEP 6
Wrap in cling film.
13 - Remove the mat and roll tightly in cling film before a grown-up cuts the sushi into thick slices, then unravel the cling film.
14 - STEP 7
TO MAKE PRESSED SUSHI: Layer over some smoked salmon.
15 - Line a loaf tin with cling film, then place a thin layer of smoked salmon inside on top of the cling film.
16 - STEP 8
Cover with rice and press down.
17 - Press about 3cm of rice over the fish, fold the cling film over and press down as much as you can, using another tin if you have one.
18 - STEP 9
Tip it out like a sandcastle.
19 - Turn block of sushi onto a chopping board.
20 - Get a grown-up to cut into fingers, then remove the cling film.
21 - STEP 10
TO MAKE SUSHI BALLS: Choose your topping.
22 - Get a small square of cling film and place a topping, like half a prawn or a small piece of smoked salmon, on it.
23 - Use damp hands to roll walnut-sized balls of rice and place on the topping.
24 - STEP 11
Make into tight balls.
25 - Bring the corners of the cling film together and tighten into balls by twisting it up, then unwrap and serve.
