I have been making this dish for doll's day for the last few years. It is easy but looks great and is an ideal recipe for a busy lifestyle mum.

Helpful Hints

Experiment with a variety of ingredients for sushi. I also use squid, cured ham and roasted beef. I didn't cook this time but I recommend making egg crepes (with no milk) and cutting out into round pieces, about the size of cucumber slices, then placing them on top of the rice to resemble flowers☆
