Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Sushi rice (half the amount made in the recipe given)
15cm/6in piece of cucumber, cut lengthways into thin strips
100g/31/2 oz smoked salmon, cut into strips
You can buy proper wooden sushi moulds from specialist shops, but a small rectangular cake tin lined with clingfilm makes a good substitute.
Trim the salmon and cucumber strips so that they fit the tin exactly when placed diagonally in it. Moisten the clingfilm and line the base of tin with alternating diagonal strips of smoked salmon and cucumber.
Add the sushi rice, then press gently to form a compact layer with the cucumber and salmon at the bottom, with a firm layer of rice, an inch or so deep, on top. Make sure the surface of the rice is flat.
Remove from the tin and turn over so you have a block of rice, with the salmon and cucumber on top. Dip a sharp knife into water and use it to cut the block into equally sized rectangles.
