Method

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil in a pan over a medium heat and cook the onion and carrots for 6-7 minutes until softened.

  3. 3

    Stir in the curry powder and plain flour and cook for 1 minute, then gradually whisk in the vegetable stock.

  4. 4

    Simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the mackerel for 3-4 minutes each side until the flesh flakes easily and is cooked through.

  6. 6

    Spoon the curry sauce over bowls of the rice and top with the grilled mackerel.
