Social media has raised yet another revolutionary recipe to virality. Unique flavour combinations and cooking methods (we’re looking at you, cottage cheese ice cream) have taken the Internet by storm – and this take on sushi has left many intrigued.
Sushi is traditionally best served at room temperature. When visiting your local shop, however, you will often find them cold. On the other hand, this at-home interpretation requires the rolls to be warm and crispy.
