Fish bento #4 - maki

I haven't made sushi for ages, but after spying a pack of nori sheets in my food cupboard yesterday I couldn't resist.


The sushi part

For today’s bento I made two different kinds of maki:
Mackerel: for this I spread 100g cooked sushi rice onto the nori sheet and topped it with freshly cooked mackerel fillet mixed with salt, pepper, a dash of Dijon mustard and a spoonful of low-fat plain yoghurt
Red pepper: again, I spread 100g cooked rice on the nori and then laid some lightly fried strips of red pepper on top.

The salad part

For the salad, I peeled and chopped a pear and sliced two sticks of celery. I added a little salt and pepper and stirred in some plain yoghurt.

The filler

I filled in any gaps using broccoli stalk poached in soy and dashi.

Apologies for the crap photo - I have been too lazy to recharge my camera, so I used my phone.
