Try this simple sushi recipe from BBC Good Food if you want to get the kids involved (or your unsuspecting dinner party guests).

Sushi simplified – Cape Fish style

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

Sushi rice ingredients

  • 300g Sushi rice
  • 100ml Rice wine vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp golden castor sugar

Japanase mayonnaise ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 Tsp soy sauce

Sushi ingredients

  • 25g Bag of seaweed sheets. Choose from the following fillings: cucumber strips, Cape Fish smoked salmon, white crabmeat, our signature fresh yellowfin tuna, red pepper, avocado, spring onion

Instructions
 

Pat our some rice.

  • Lay a sheet of seaweed on the mat, shiny-side down. Dip your hands in the vinegar, then pat handfuls of rice on top in a 1cm thick layer, leaving the furthest edge from you clear.

Spread over some Japanese mayonnaise.

  • Use a spoon to spread out a thin layer of this delicious mayo down the middle of the rice.

Add the filling.

  • Get your child to top the mayonnaise with a line of their favourite fillings – our go-to combination is yellowfin tuna and cucumber.

Roll it up.

  • Lift the edge of the mat over the rice, applying a little pressure to keep everything in a tight roll.

Stick down the sides like a stamp.

  • When you get to the edge without any rice, brush with a little water and continue to roll into a tight roll.

Wrap in cling film.

  • Remove the mat and roll tightly in cling film before a grown-up cuts the sushi into thick slices, then unravel the cling film.
