Ingredients:

290g (1 1/3 cups) sushi rice

500ml (2 cups) water

60ml (1/4 cup) rice vinegar

3 tsp caster sugar

1/2 tsp salt

4.5g packet of roasted seaweed snack, torn

1 1/2 tbsp tamari

1 tsp sesame oil

2 avocados, sliced

225g smoked salmon

2 tsp black sesame seeds

Pickled ginger to serve (optional)

Wasabi, to serve (optional)

Instructions:

1. Rinse the rice well using a sieve, and let it drain for an hour.

2. Place the rice and water in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cover with a tight-fitting lid. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Once done, take the saucepan off the heat and leave it covered for another 15 minutes to steam.

3. Meanwhile, combine vinegar, sugar and salt in a small jug. Stir until sugar dissolves.

4. Spread the rice over a tray and sprinkle with half of the vinegar mixture. Using a flat-edged spoon, fold the vinegar mixture into the rice. Set aside to cool slightly. Fold in seaweed.

5. Pour tamari and sesame oil into the remaining vinegar mixture. Divide the rice mixture among bowls, and top it with avocado and salmon. Drizzle with the tamari dressing and top with sesame seeds, ginger, and wasabi if desired.

6. Serve and enjoy!

Optional ways to make the dish extra special:

- Add some pickled cucumber or radish for a crunchy contrast.

- Top with an egg for extra protein.

- Drizzle with spicy mayonnaise for an extra kick.

- Add some edamame beans for an extra boost of protein.

- Sprinkle with furikake for a salty, savoury flavour.
