Christmas sushi is a very delicious combination of Polish and Japanese cuisine, and in terms of taste it resembles a little bit the Greek-style fish – a traditional Polish dish served on Christmas Eve.
Instead of the Japanese seasoning blend you can use powdered chilli or choose a few favourite ingredients for this seasoning mix. The Christmas sushi is a perfect light appetiser, not only for Christmas and special occasions. It is sure to whet the appetite of your guests and they will certainly ask for more.
