How it's done
Sushi rice

Bring the rice to the boil (uncovered), reduce the heat, simmer for approx. 10 mins. until the water has evaporated, leaving small indentations on the surface of the rice. Cover and leave to fluff up over a very low heat for approx. 10 mins.; do not remove the lid. Place the rice in a bowl. Add the rice vinegar, sugar and salt, separate with a fork, leave to cool.
Nori dressing
Pour the water into a pan along with all the other ingredients up to and including the salt, bring to the boil. Cover and simmer over a low heat for approx. 10 mins. Remove the pan from the heat, mix in the soy sauce and rice vinegar, leave to cool.
Radishes
Set aside a few radish greens. Place the radishes and sesame oil in a bowl, mix, season with salt.
Pak choi
