Ingredients

Makes 4 complete rolls

GARLIC MAYO

Method

  1. Start by making the garlic mayo. Add all the ingredients, except the grapeseed oil, into a tall cylinder. Using a handheld stick blender, blend the ingredients until smooth. Slowly add the oil while blending until you get a thick emulsion. This takes a few minutes. Once thick and creamy, pour into a squeeze bottle and place in the fridge to cool.
  2. To make the sushi rolls, add the cooked beetroot to the rice and mirin. Mix through until evenly combined.
  3. Place 1 sheet of the nori on a bamboo mat, shiny side down. Cover the nori with a layer of rice, about ½ cm thick.
  4. Next, add vegetables and tofu in a horizontal line across the sheet, leaving a 1 cm gap from the edge closest to you. Once you have a few pieces of each vegetable and tofu on the rice, you are ready to roll.
  5. To roll, start by pulling up the edge closest to you and roll it over the ingredients. Use the mat to help tuck it in towards yourself to give a tight roll. Continue to roll until sealed closed. Set aside and make the other rolls.
  6. Once finish, slice the sushi roles into 2 cm-thick pieces and then place on a plate to serve. Squeeze a little garlic mayo over the sushi and top with some edible flowers for extra prettiness.
