Method

1. Cook the sushi rice, place in a bowl to cool then add rice vinegar and sugar to your own taste. Mix well.
2. To make each colour take 5 shallow bowls and put about half a cup of rice in each bowl. Mix in each food colour (keep in mind you just want to colour it but not flavour it).For red - beet powder pinchFor yellow - tumericFor green - use tiny bit of spirulina and pinch of tumericFor blue - spirulina powderFor purple - use spirulina (tiny bit) and also beer powderNOTE - if you do not have these powders then you can use food colouring gel
3. Chop your vegetables (for filling) into thin strips. I used carrot and red capscicum.
4. Cook your egg in an omelette pan or frypan (thin omelette) then cut into thin strips.
5. Assembling the sushiGet a bamboo roller and cover it with cling wrap to keep it clean.Add a sheet of Nori and place a row of each coloured rice on the nori sheet.Keep a 1cm gap around all edges.
6. Add your filling then roll your sushi up nice and firmly.Wet the end to seal.
7. Wet a sharp knife and slice your sushi rolls to reveal a colourful rainbow.Serve with sweet soy sauce
