Method

  1. 1

    Cook the sushi rice according to the pack and leave to cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Beat the eggs with the soy sauce and caster sugar.

  3. 3

    Lightly oil a small non-stick pan with the vegetable oil and set over a medium-low heat. Pour in a thin layer of the egg and cook for 1 minute until just set.

  4. 4

    Roll the egg up to one side of the pan, then pour in more egg, lifting the roll to let it flow underneath. Cook for 1 minute and roll again, repeating until all the egg is used and you have a thick log.

  5. 5

    Lift onto a board, slice into thick pieces and pack into a lunch box or onto a plate with the rice, cucumber batons and pickled ginger.
