Instructions

1. Place 500 ml/18 fl oz water in a pan and bring to a boil over a high heat. Reduce to a simmer and pour the quinoa into the pan. Simmer the quinoa for 30 minutes, or until all of the water has been absorbed. Remove the pan from the heat and stir the rice vinegar into the quinoa. Set aside.

2. To make the carrot filling, combine all of the ingredients in a bowl. The other fillings require no extra preparation.

3. Lay 1 sheet of nori flat on a sushi rolling mat or clean, dry cloth. Place 4 heaped tablespoons of quinoa in the centre of the sheet and spread to cover evenly, leaving a 2.5 cm/1 in border around the sheet. Using your finger or a small pastry brush, dampen the border of the nori sheet slightly with water.

4. Place your chosen filling in a central line on top of the quinoa. Using the sushi mat or cloth, roll the nori sheet into a tight cylinder, enclosing all of the filling. Slice the roll into 8 pieces. Repeat with the remaining sheets of nori.

5. Serve the sushi with soy sauce and wasabi paste alongside.
