Cooking Sushi With Luigi!
Posted by Joshua Jude, February 16th, 2008.
Member of The Key met at Emmaus Church on the 16th of February for another Cooking Class. This time Luigi chose the finer art of cooking the Japanese cuisine sushi. Luigi taught the history behind the food and interjected his own philosophy and interconnectedness behind the ingredients chosen. About 14 youth showed up and made various sushi rolls, miso soup, and sencha tea. The sushi (which means flavored rice) contained carrots, avocados (California rolls), asparagus, tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet), and cooked fish. Luigi also taught the rather posh inside-out roll. The sushi was served with sides of traditional pickled ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce. The miso soup was the best I have ever tasted! Here is a slideshow of the class. For a list of ingredients used, please click here.
