Method

To Make Sushi Rice
1

Wash rice with plenty of cold water and drain.

2

Place in a saucepan with 2 ½ cups of water and leave for 30 minutes.

3

Place saucepan on the stove and bring to boil, reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 15 minutes with lid on.

4

Remove from heat and sit in a warm place for 15 minutes to finish cooking and absorb remaining liquid.

5

Spread rice onto a plastic tray and sprinkle over the sushi vinegar, gently fold it through the rice.

6

Cover with a damp cloth and allow to cool.

7

Mix through black sesame seeds.

For the Beef
1

In a large pan, brown the mince, ginger and garlic.

2

Add in the sweet soy and a ¼ cup of water.

3

Simmer gently until the mince starts to become sticky.

4

Remove from heat.

To Assemble
1

Lay a piece of nori on a sushi mat (you can use clingfilm if you don’t have one, but it is a little trickier).

2

Spread some rice evenly over the nori, about 1 cm thick, leaving some of the nori sheet exposed at the top.

3

Along the centre of the rice add in 3 tbsp sticky mince, some sliced avocado, carrot, cucumber and cream cheese.

4

Roll the sushi using the mat after allowing to sit for ten minutes before slicing, so the nori can soften.

5

Serve with soy dipping sauce, wasabi and pickled ginger if desired.
