Method

  1. 1

    Rinse the rice, then cook it in the water, covered, on a low heat for 12 minutes. Rest for 10 minutes.

    22 min
  2. 2

    Heat the vinegar and sugar until dissolved. Fold it through the rice and let the rice cool to room temperature.

  3. 3

    Mix the mayonnaise and sriracha in a small bowl, then stir in the prawns.

  4. 4

    Lay a half sheet of nori in your palm, shiny side down. Spread a spoonful of rice over the left side.

  5. 5

    Add a little prawn, avocado and cucumber on a diagonal. Fold the bottom corner up and roll into a cone. Repeat with the rest.

  6. 6

    Serve straight away with tamari for dipping, as nori goes soft quickly.
