    Cooking sushi rice in your Thermomix couldn't be easier! Follow our step by step method for making perfect Thermomix sushi every time.

    Sushi makes a simple midweek dinner, school lunch box snack or a yummy lunch alternative to a sandwich.

    What You Need

    • sushi rice - this can be bought from the Asian section or the rice section of any major supermarket. I generally use SunRice brand.
    • water
    • sushi rice seasoning - this can be bought from the Asian section of the supermarket. I like to use Obento brand that is a liquid and can be bought in a glass bottle.
    • nori sheets - again, I like to use Obento brand which is available in the Asian section of the supermarket.
    • your choice of fillings - cucumber, cooked chicken, lettuce, avocado, carrot, tuna etc.

    How To Cook Sushi Rice In The Thermomix

    Cooking sushi rice in the Thermomix is absolutely fool-proof!

    Step 1 - Weigh The Rice

    Place the rice basket on top of the Thermomix and weigh in the sushi rice. Rinse under cold water.

    Step 2 - Cook The Rice

    Place the water into the Thermomix bowl, insert the rice basket, secure the lid and cook for 20 minutes, Varoma, Speed 4.

    Step 3 - Add The Seasoning

    Very carefully remove the rice basket from the Thermomix (it will be very hot!). Transfer to a large plate. Drizzle over the sushi seasoning and fluff with a fork.

    Step 4 - Roll The Sushi

    See below for my tips on rolling the sushi.

    How To Roll Sushi

    Place a sushi bamboo mat (these can be bought from the Asian section of the supermarket) onto a flat bench.

    Place a nori sheet on top of the sushi mat with the rough side facing up.

    Spread a thin layer of cooked sushi rice over the sheet of nori (leaving a 2cm gap at the top of the sheet - to assist with sealing).

    Place your filling in a thin line in the centre.

    Start from the end without the gap, and roll tightly together (it takes a bit of practice).

    Sushi Filling Suggestions

    There are SO many filling options for sushi. Here's a few of my favourites:

    • crumbed chicken and avocado
    • tuna and cucumber
    • cucumber and carrot
    • salmon and avocado
    • crab meat
    • thinly sliced beef and cucumber

    Serve with soy sauce, kewpie mayonnaise, picked ginger and wasabi.

    Tips For Making Thermomix Sushi

    Remove the sushi rice from the basket once cooked - if you leave the sushi rice to sit in the rice basket after the cooking time, it will become gluggy.

    Transfer the rice from the rice basket to a flat plate - this allow the rice to begin to cool and also makes it easier to drizzle with the sushi seasoning and fluff with a fork.

    Fluff the rice with a fork - do this gently so as to seperate the rice grains and mix through the seasoning but without squishing the rice.

    Place the rolls into the fridge for an hour before cutting - this allows the rolls to set making it easier to cut and serve.

    Make the night before - save yourself time and make your sushi the night before. Store in the fridge until needed.
