The more we get settled into our new home the more it seems life slowly goes back to normal for us. One thing that we have started to be able to do again is make our own sushi. It wasn’t easy finding all of the ingredients and sadly one thing we couldn’t find was sushi ginger. Thankfully we had a recipe handy. If you want to make your own sushi ginger because you can’t find any or you want to avoid additives from the store this is a really easy recipe to use. The ginger can be eaten the next day or if you’re in a hurry in a few hours.
