shrimp sushi with carrot, spring onion and green pepper, a side salad and a servings of wasabi, soy sauce and pickled ginger

 

i experimented with jasmine rice and royal purple rice longdan.co.uk/products/longdan-royal-purple-rice-1kg-gao-... both types are sticky rice. will definitely cook both again but the royal purple rice is tricky. i'll do a search and get some tips

 

update

i've just done a quick search and found this you tube www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiOkWU6wikE i've looked at it briefly and can see already that i should have soaked the royal purple rice overnight. i'll go back to this video later

 

further update

purple rice should be steamed

after soaking the purple rice for a few hours and rinsing it is steamed until softened and the seeds open and sticky

 

my thanks to Paul Sisul for recommending two excellent sushi making videos
