Directions:

1. Cook rice according to packet directions.

2. While rice is cooking heat vinegar, salt and sugar in a saucepan until sugar and salt have dissolved.

3. When rice is cooked transfer it to a large bowl and immediately pour vinegar mixture over the top. Mix and then cover while it cools to prevent drying out.

4. To assemble Temari Sushi lay a piece of clingfilm on work surface. Add about 2 tablespoons of rice to the centre. Draw the ends of the clingfilm together and twist to form a ball.

5. Open up the clingfilm, remove the rice ball and place it on a plate or serving platter. Cover with a damp tea towel and repeatwith remaining rice.

6. When all balls are made, it’s time to decorate them using toppingsof your choice. For flat ingredients like smoked salmon or radish slices, lay the topping on the rice, then cover with clingfilm and twist to close. This will help the toppings stick to the rice.

7. Refrigerate, covered for up to 1 hour before serving.
