On your marks, get set, go .... sushi rolling time

To celebrate Ayano's birthday she trained us all (or at least tried to) in the art of making sushi. This meant rolling out our seaweed mats of nori, wetting our hands, spreading out the sticky rice and then happily staring at the wide range of ingredients to fill the sushi rolls. Whilst there was no traditional fish, we were not lacking in tasty ingredients. For the record I think I managed to squeeze in some strange combination of rice, beef, egg, carrots, mushrooms and beans. Super Japanese chef, and birthday girl, Ayano, kept a close eye over her trainees, especially when we began to roll out the sushi. Then it was a case of adding the finishing touches to the sushi rolls with pickled ginger, wasabi and soy sauces, and sesame seeds. If that was not enough to fill our bellies, Ayano had also made a Japanese style beef curry to further feed the partygoers. So the feast of wonderful food continues and just gets better and better– stranger things will happen but making sushi in Zambia could be one of them.
