HISTORY OF MY DISH
As you may know, Sushi is one of the most famous dishes in Japan. For my graduation ceremony,
I visited a sushi restaurant with my friends, but usually, for my birthday parties, my family would prepare Temaki sushi, which we loved to have at home. You just need to prepare a platter of sushi rice, nori (seaweed sheet) and fillings such as smoked salmon, soft biltong, fried chicken, baked egg, and sliced veggies/avocado. Then, all make their own hand-rolled sushi at the table using their favourite ingredients. To make your table look more gorgeous, prepare fillings in different colours.
