On a bamboo sushi mat, spread a layer of sushi rice evenly, about the same size as your nori sheet. Make sure the rice is sticky enough to hold everything together.

Place a sheet of nori on top of the rice and arrange the omelette strips, sliced kiwi, salmon, and poached prawns in the center of the nori.
5
Gently roll the sushi using the bamboo mat, applying light pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water if needed.
