Method

Boil the rice together with a piece of Kombu for 12 minutes. Remove the kombu and place the rice in a utensil. Before it cools down entirely, add the rice vinegar into which you have previously stirred the mirin, sugar and salt. Let it stand for 5-6 minutes. Lightly sauté the fish filet in the sunflower oil. Pour the soy sauce over it; then cut into strips. Beat the eggs and make a thin omelet; also cut into strips. To roll, spread two tablespoons of rice onto the sheet of Nori and add the vegetables cut into fine sticks and the strips of omelet and fish. Roll using the special bamboo sushi-mat. When rolled, place in the fridge for 30 minutes before cutting into smaller rolls and serving.
