Method

  1. 1

    Cook the sushi rice according to the pack and keep warm.

  2. 2

    Cut the mackerel into thick strips and toss in the cornflour.

  3. 3

    Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the mackerel for 2-3 minutes until golden. Lift out onto a plate.

  4. 4

    Add the onion to the pan and cook for 4 minutes until softened, then add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes until starting to break down.

  5. 5

    Mix the soy sauce, rice vinegar and caster sugar in a small jug, pour into the pan and bubble for 1 minute.

  6. 6

    Return the mackerel to the pan and toss gently to coat without breaking it up too much, then serve over the rice.
