Sushi night cooking club


My work cooking club pulled together a fabulous sushi cooking club theme. Hosted by the illustrious DB, equipped with yard sale Japanese serving ware, we had a feast unparalleled. We used an entire village's ration of rice.
In the foreground was smoked salmon & asparagus, fresh salmon and avocado rolls. Further back you notice the brownish looking dish on the right which was tamago (sweet rolled egg) done expertly by someone who would certainly not call herself a chef. All the way in the back, our vegan counterparts made a dill, cucumber and avocado roll. We started the meal off with homemade miso soup, which I have only had a few times but it tasted fairly similar to what I remember.
The dessert continued in the same fashion, with green tea ice cream and cherry mochi balls (pink rice wrapped around a sweet bean paste and then steamed). Despite looking like salmon cakes, these were surprisingly excellent.

thanks. I can't take credit for the room itself, but I like the layout.
