First I boil a big bowl of rice. Here it is on the plate after being removed
from the bowl.

Bowl-shaped mound of boiled white rice turned out onto a plate on a bamboo mat

Then, boil another bowl of rice. I use a rice machine for perfect rice every
time!

Saw the tops of the rice mounds whilst the 3rd and final bowl of rice in on
the boil.

Two moulded rice cylinders on plates either side of the orange plastic bowl used as the mould

Wrap it all up a few sheets of seaweed.

Cut a hole in the top with a champagne glass then scoop out some more rice
to main room for the filling.

A well hollowed out of the rice on top of the seaweed-wrapped tower, ready for filling

Add a lobster!

Cooked shellfish — a whole crayfish and two long crab claws — laid across the rice top

Dont be silly. Scoop out 3 peppers and fill with prawns. Load the peppers in
there and bingo! Giant Sushi!
