Sashimi-grade fish and a fine omelette arranged over a wide bowl of seasoned rice rather than rolled into anything. The easiest sushi to make at home, because the whole skill is in arranging rather than rolling.

Method
Beat the eggs and cook in a lightly oiled pan into a thin omelette, then cool and cut into fine strips.
Thinly slice the salmon and tuna, using fillets that have been previously frozen to minus 20°C for at least 24 hours for food safety.
Halve the cooked prawns and thinly slice the cucumber.
Spread the sushi rice in a wide, shallow bowl or platter.
Arrange the salmon, tuna, prawns and cucumber decoratively over the rice.
Scatter the omelette strips and nori flakes over the top.
Finish with a scattering of pickled ginger and serve at room temperature.
