Sushi, an iconic Japanese dish, is loved by people all over the world. There are countless varieties available, from classic sushi made with rice, vinegar and fish to options like nigirizushi, tekka maki and futomaki. On Tuesday, actress Kalki Koechlin relished this Japanese dish and shared her experience on her Instagram Stories. She posted a collage showing the process of making sushi. The first frame showed all the ingredients including nori, rice, cucumbers, wasabi and fish. Next, we see rolled sushi placed on top of a makisu aka sushi mat. The following shots show perfectly cut sushi served with soy sauce. It seems her sister-in-law had a key role in this feast, as Kalki captioned the photo, “Receiving the benefits of a married brother in Japanese culture.” She added a hashtag (#icanmakesushinow), suggesting that she not only got a chance to enjoy this Japanese dish, but also got a chance to learn how to make it from scratch.
