14. Rika’s TOKYO CUISINE: Rika's Mom's Mixed Sushi

In this episode, we will recreate the maze-sushi or mixed sushi that Rika’s mother used to make her for dinner. This sushi is vibrant, using the Japanese cuisine principle of five colors. It is perfect if you don’t like fish, as it uses chicken and other vegetables. As a side dish, we’ll make a traditional nutritious spinach dish mixed with tofu and aromatic sesame (spinach shiraae). In the Chef’s corner, the Rika will be making a soup full of littleneck clams and green onions, which can help you recover from fatigue and increase your metabolism – a great way to survive the hot summer!
