#RollWithRice - Sushi Galore!

We have done a lot of art-themed freestyle events until now. For this one, we wanted to learn something exotic and refreshing. Hence, sushi! We booked a calm outdoor space and an awesome chef to guide us through the process. The setup was ready, Uno was shuffled, and the wait began for our lovely participants.

Slowly, the Uno participation started to increase. We kept adding tables, created a few house rules, and started the competitive game. As always, Uno proves to be an amazing icebreaker. From "OH, we are playing Uno today!" to hiding the cards and shouting "Caught, caught!" In the middle of all this, the ingredients and utensils were brought in to complete the final setup. The focus was now on the main event of the afternoon!

Bowls filled with water, chopsticks, wasabi, ginger slices, seaweed, sliced seedless cucumber, cooked sushi rice, and a small bamboo mat were all placed on the table. Our curiosity was at its peak, and as a result, everyone started opening the seaweed packets and eating the cucumbers. Thankfully, our curiosity was met by the chef when he asked us not to do it. We learned about two kinds of sushi: Maki and Uramaki. We also learned the way to spread the rice on the mat, rolling it all into a sushi, slicing the sushi roll into pieces and ingredients like avocado, and many more things along the way.

After all the preparations, it was time to start plating. We could definitely see the effects as everyone became a professional chef in the process. Creating roses out of ginger slices, using asparagus to decorate the plates, adding a dash of cream cheese, a splatter of wasabi, and taking photos from different angles made us all look like pros—and why not?

Right after this, no one could wait any longer and jumped straight into eating. Soon, everything was gone, and it was time to bid farewell with full bellies.

Another amazing day with our fam came to an end. We laughed, appreciated, and grooved to the light music together while learning the Japanese staple. More ideas are now in line, so stay alert!
