Mushroom and sweet piquanté pepper sushi

To make the rice: Wash the rice and rinse thoroughly. Place the rice and water into a pot and cook gently until the rice is just tender and the water has been absorbed. Mix together the rice vinegar, sugar and salt; cook over a medium heat until sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool.

Place the cooked rice into a large mixing bowl; then pour the vinegar sauce over the hot rice and mix.

Place a sheet of nori onto a sushi mat and then cover it with a thin layer of sushi rice – push it down with your fingers.

Lay a row of mushrooms, avocado, cucumber and sweet and sour Goldew peppers onto one side of the rice
Roll the sushi roll into a tight cylinder. Slice it into bite size pieces with a sharp knife and serve with soya sauce and pickled ginger. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
