1.Rinse rice under cold running water, drain and place in a saucepan with the measured water. Bring to the boil, then cover, turn down the heat and simmer for 12 minutes. Remove from the heat and leave in the covered pot to steam for 10 minutes.

3.Divide cold rice into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion of rice around a piece of pickled ginger, to form a ball. Fold another piece of ginger around each rice ball and cover this with a slice of smoked salmon. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
