Method
Step 1: Wash the rice several times and allow to drain.
Step 2: Place the rice in the heavy based saucepan and add the water. Bring to boil on medium heat with the lid on. Lower the heat when the rice begins to boil and cook the rice for 15-20 mins until all the water has been evaporated. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 15mins.
Step 3: Add the sushi vinegar a tablespoon at a time and mix well until it is absorbed into the rice. Allow to cool.
Step 4: Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo mat. Smooth and glossy side facing down.
Step 5: Place a few big heaped tablespoons of sushi rice on the nori and spread all over leaving a 2cm strip at the far end. The thickness of the rice spread over the nori should be about 5 millimeters.
Step 6: Arrange all fillings along the centre of the rice.
Step 7: Use your thumbs and forefingers to pick up the end of the bamboo mat closest to you. Lift the mat over to enclose the fillings in the rice. Gently pull the mat creating a tight and firm roll and turn the nori sushi rice onto the uncovered strip of nori. Use the mat to gently pull and tighten the roll.
Step 8: Apply a thin layer of sesame oil over the top of the roll and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
Step 9: Cut the roll into slices and serve with Kimchi.
