Calories: 151kcal
Equipment
- 1 Bamboo mat
Ingredients
- 2 nori sheets
- 1 cup sushi rice (cooked)
- ½ red capsicum
- ½ carrot
- ½ yellow capsicum
- 2 beetroot slices thick sliced canned beetroot .
- ¼ cucumber
- 20 grams cream cheese block
Instructions
- Prepare your colourful vegetables and cream cheese by cutting them into thin long batons. I use a block of chilled cream cheese to make my cream cheese sticks.
- Lay a nori sheet with the shiny side down on your bamboo mat.
- Spread ½ a cup of sushi rice evenly over two thirds of the nori sheet. I use a wet spatula to do this.
- Sprinkle some water on the part of the nori that is rice free.
- Use your bamboo mat to firmly roll up the nori sheet, rice and fillings into a rainbow sushi roll.
- Cut your sushi roll into 6 pieces. I use the star point of the knife to pierce the nori sheet, then cut through where I have pierced the sushi.

Notes
- Water is your friend whenever you are making sushi. Keep your hands and utensils damp when you are handling sushi rice, this will stop it sticking to everything.
- Less is more when it comes to the amount of rice you use. Don't spread the rice too thickly over the nori sheet.
- Once rolled you can actually use the bamboo mat to tighten the roll even further. I double roll my sushi, ie a form the roll with the bamboo mat then I will roll again with the mat, this will make sure your roll is firm.
- Red: Capsicum/bell pepper
- Orange: Carrot, capsicum/bell pepper, smoked salmon
- Yellow: Capsicum/bell pepper

- Cream cheese: I like to add an ingredient that has a creamy texture to bring together all the crunchy vegetables. This could be avocado or sushi mayonnaise.
- Nori: Nori sheets: Seaweed sheets can be found in most grocery stores.
- Sushi rice: This is an easy stove top sushi rice recipe or try making sushi rice in an instant pot.
