The following is a review of the sushi recipe...
Ian Miles from Leicester, England on 03/30/99
Some of the ingredients are hard to find. I had to omit the cilantro
leaves, and decided not to try to replace them with something else.
This did not seem to take anything away from the taste. Overall, a
really tasty and filling dish.
