Ingredients

  • 1 nori sheet
  • 100g prepared sushi rice
  • 3–4 seafood sticks (crab sticks), shredded or halved lengthways
  • 2 slices of fresh ripe mango (or pre-cut mango chunks sliced thinly)
  • ¼ cucumber, cut into matchsticks
  • 1 tsp black or white sesame seeds

Method

Place the nori on the cling-film-lined mat, spread the sushi rice over the whole sheet, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Flip the sheet over so the rice faces down onto the cling film.

Arrange the seafood sticks, mango slices, and cucumber horizontally across the middle of the nori.

Use the mat to roll the sushi tightly around the fillings, squeezing gently to compact the rice.

Slice into 8 pieces with a wet knife.
