Method

Tap a step once you've finished it.

Rinse the rice well (until the water is clear), soak for 20 minutes, then bring to the boil covered with the water, cook for 12 minutes and rest for 10 minutes covered.
Warm the sushi vinegar ingredients together until dissolved.
Spread the rice in a large, flat dish, sprinkle with the vinegar and fold it in with cutting strokes (do not stir), fanning to make it glossy; cool to lukewarm.
Meanwhile slice the fish, avocado and cucumber thinly.
Divide the rice among 4 deep bowls and arrange the slices of fish, avocado and cucumber in a mosaic on top.
Garnish with nori strips, sesame seeds and roe, and serve with wasabi and soy sauce.

Tips

Use only sashimi-grade fish that is safe to eat raw, from a reliable source.
The rice should be lukewarm, neither hot nor cold.
The sugar and salt in the sushi vinegar give balance; adjust to taste.
For pregnant women, small children and people with weak immunity, replace raw fish with cooked prawns, egg and so on.
