4. Sushi making Collect the ingredients
Start with the seaweed sheet known as Nori

5. Sushi making Place the Nori on the bamboo mat smooth side down.
See in the picture, the cooked sushi rice that has been mixed with sugar, sushi vinegar and salt.

7. Sushi making Place the cold sushi rice on the seaweed sheet.
Keep rinsing your fingertips in cold water to prevent the rice sticking to them.
Spread the rice until it covers ¾ of the seaweed.

8. Sushi making Cut the cucumber into long strips without seeds.
Place in the middle of the rice.
Cover the cucumber with the tuna, mayo & sweetcorn.

9. Sushi making
Lift the nearest edge of the bamboo mat and fold the seaweed sheet so that the edges of the rice meet.
There will be some seaweed sheet showing beyond the roll.

10. Sushi making
Squeeze the roll to tighten it.

11. Sushi making Peel back the bamboo mat to reveal the sushi roll.
Use the bamboo mat to finish rolling the seaweed around the rice.

12. Sushi making Squeeze the sushi roll using the bamboo mat.
Making a tight roll will give neat sushi slices.

Carefully cut the sushi into 8 even slices.

Soy sauce and Wasabi paste add to the flavour.
Don’t forget the chopsticks.
