Fermented Vegetable Brown Rice Sushi

Wash the sushi rice under running water. Add the rice to the pan and bring the water to the boil. Reduce heat, cover with a lid and simmer for 35 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to steam for a further 10 minutes. If you feel that the water has absorbed, turn off the heat a little earlier rather than burn it to the bottom. Season the sushi rice with a splash of mirin and rice wine vinegar to your taste.

Using a sushi mat, place one sheet of nori and spread with rice. I used 2/3 of a sheet. Carefully place a line if your fermented vegetables along the middle and roll using the mat to keep it tightly together. Slice the ends to neaten, then into equally sliced portions. Repeat.

Serve with some extra fermented vegetables, tamari or ponzu dipping sauce, ginger, wasabi or other sushi condiments.
