Ingredients

• 275g Saitaku Sushi Rice
• 5 tbsp Saitaku Rice Vinegar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 avocado
• 2 radishes
• 2 small cucumbers
• 2 eggs
• Smoked salmon
• Saitaku Sesame Seeds
• Saitaku Japanese Style Mayo
• A handful of chives

Instructions

1. Cook the Saitaku Sushi Rice according to the packet instructions. While still warm, season with the Saitaku Rice Vinegar and salt. Spread the rice evenly onto a lined baking tin, pressing it down into a flat, even layer. Leave to cool completely, then chill until firm.
2. Thinly slice the avocado, radishes and small cucumbers. Whisk the eggs together with the chopped chives, then cook gently in a frying pan to create a thin, flat omelette. Remove from the pan and allow to cool.
3. Using a star-shaped cutter (lightly wetting it first to prevent sticking), cut star shapes from the chilled sushi rice. Repeat with the omelette and smoked salmon.
4. Egg & radish star – top the sushi rice stars with omelette, add a small dot of Saitaku Japanese Style Mayo and finish with sliced radish.
5. Salmon & cucumber star – top the sushi rice stars with smoked salmon, add a small dot of Saitaku Japanese Style Mayo and finish with sliced cucumber.
6. Avocado star – mix black & white sesame seeds, using the star cutter as a stencil to coat the star in. Followed by a zigzag drizzle of mayo and topped with avocado.
7. Sprinkle with Saitaku Sesame Seeds to finish.
8. Arrange them all on a platter and serve immediately, or keep chilled until ready to serve.
