Ingredients

1 cup sushi rice
1½ cups water
½ cup light coconut milk
2 teaspoons honey
juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1 cup sliced assorted fresh or canned fruit
²/³ cup frozen berries

Instructions

1 In a strainer, rinse sushi rice under the tap. In a medium saucepan, place rice, water, coconut milk and honey. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Fold lime juice through cooked rice.

2 Onto a tray or large swiss roll tin, tip the rice out and spread gently, fanning to cool (or just leave to cool).

3 Once cool, using slightly wet hands, shape rice into oblongs. Roll half of the nigiri in sesame seeds.

4 Top nigiri with slices of your favourite fruit.

5 In a small pot, heat frozen berries until they start to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into a small dish.

6 Serve nigiri on a platter, with berry dipping sauce on the side.
