You see, sushi is terrible in the UK. You cannot find the large sushi rolls, futomaki, anywhere which of course is what you see most in New Zealand. However, the Japanese chain by our work, Wasabi - does do a delicious tofu curry which I usually delight in once a week.
So yesterday I went out and spent about £10 on getting the neccessary ingredients, recruited Oren to get the salmon and used some leftover honey soy marinated chicken for the below results.
Taste wise - it was pretty close, the rice was a bit sticky but it seems that would be quite the art to perfect. The pot is going to need a lot of scrubbing. I can't wait to go to Japan and try all the new and interesting foods when we get there.
We had a lovely Christmas dinner, both our first Christmas together as well as the first one both of us had spent away from our families in the middle of winter. But that is another post for another day.
It was really interesting see the graves, angels and tombstones covered in snow. It's a fairly eerie cemetery anyway but the snow made it even more interesting.
I got to admire both the tree skills of a squirrell and Oren.
Then it was back home to the central heating.
