Sushi-su
1. Place everything in a small saucepan, heat on lowest setting for 2-3 minutes until the sugar has dissolved. Stir, take off heat and leave to cool completely before using.

2. Wet you hands, take a small portion of sushi rice, squeeze into a ball and place in the centre of the salmon.
3. Wipe your hands if you need to, join the corners of the cling film and twist to form a tight ball, see picture, leave aside.
4. Repeat with all the salmon pieces.

To serve
1. Place a dollop of wasabi cream onto whatever serving plate/spoon you're using.
2. Place a temari sushi on the wasabi cream and top the sushi with your choice of topping, in this case, a leaf and some salmon roe. You can also have just a spring onion, look at the top picture and you'll see that the cream is on top of the sushi with the slither of spring onion.
