to something different.

Um, I see, uh, rice.

What is it?

That's what they call sushi, mi amor.

Yes. It's muy delicious.

So this is the food at Mommy's restaurant.

It's Japanese.

This is the California roll,

the spicy tuna roll,

the Raider roll, and that one...

That one is the rock 'n' roll.

Ooh, what's a rock 'n' roll?

It's really yummy. You will like it.

Well, what's in it?

Uh, it's, um, barbecued eel.

"Eel?

"Eel?

Oh, that's gross.

Really, honey. You will love it.

Um...

ls that dinner?

Go on, try it. It won't

kill you right away.

No, it's just crab and tuna...

Mostly.

And the tuna is cooked?

No.

- Try it.

- No, I don't like that stuff.

I got some tacos in the refrigerator.

Fine. More for us.

Here's some soy sauce for you to dip it in.

Put a little bit of this green stuff,

it's called wasabi.

'Na-who'!?

Wasabi. Wa-sa-bi.

It's like Tapatio.

Mija, that's...

That's too much.

Mmm.

- Juana.

- Yes, ma'am?

Mr. Yoshida is here. Look sharp!

Yes, ma'am.

What is this?

Chicken teriyaki, Mr. Yoshida.

Of course it is.

Where's the ginger rose?

Who made this?

- Juana, sir.

- Juana?

Mr. Yoshida,

this is your new employee, Juana.

Juana, Mr. Yoshida.

Make sure she knows

to prepare the ginger rose.

Yes, sir.

- That means "hurry."

- Yes, Mr. Yoshida.

Everybody gets initiated at some point.

I want mango's!

Did you see that cart?

It was just like ours.

We should be selling fruit today.

Look...

They didn't even fill up the whole bag.

And it's not even ripe.

That's not how you sell fruit.

Imagine the fortune we could've made today.

Yeah, a fortune.

Why aren't you selling fruit?

I don't know. Ask your mother.

She has all the answers.

Mommy really likes her new job, honey.

I'm learning a lot there.

Yeah, but we could've made much more

out here.

Look, why don't we fix up the cart?

And we could go to one of those

art and wine festivals.

Pa.

What?

I'm going to learn

how to make rice tomorrow.

But you already know how to make rice.

Even your daughter knows how to make rice.

I don't know how to make rice.

This is sushi rice - it's different.

It's complicated.

This job has potential.

Potential for what?

Making sushi burritos?

Who's going to want to eat that?

Look...

Why don't you become a chef...

...a great chef...

...of Mexican food?

Because I already am!

Alright. Well, let's...

Pa. Pa.

Look...

Why don't we...

Pa!

Let me do this.

Aki?

Sorry I'm late. My car got broken into.

Did you do this?

I thought you might need some help.

Thanks, Juana.

Eight parts rice vinegar, four parts sugar,

one part sea salt.

Eight, four, one. Okay?

Cut the rice at a 45-degree angle.
