Tips

  • Wash the rice at least 11 times before cooking.
  • Respect the cooking times of the rice: first 2 min at medium/high heat, then 13 min at minimum heat and finally 10 more min off the heat with the lid on.
  • Add the vinegar when the rice is still hot.
  • Let the rice cool to room temperature and covered with plastic wrap so that the grains on top do not dry out.
  • For the assembly, keep in mind that what is against the wall of the mold is what will then be visible: place the greenest side of the avocado towards the wall, the inside of the prawns outwards, arrange the pieces of salmon neatly on the edges, etc.
