Even when in space it is at times difficult to resist your food cravings, and this is what happened with the astronauts aboard the International Space Station.

NASA astronaut Jonny Kim shared on X how during one of the space celebrations a crewmate craved for sushi, so they pitched in with their own ingredients to make it.

Not the traditional way but with fish, spam, rice, gochujang and wasabi. And Kim said ‘it’s not bad’.

This unique space sushi is now winning hearts on the Internet.

“Space sushi isn’t quite the same as the fresh stuff on the ground, but it’s not bad! We had a crew celebration recently and one of our crewmates expressed how much they missed sushi (as do I). So we collected and pitched in our personal supplies of fish, spam and rice, coupled with a dash of gochujang and wasabi, which made for a great meal,” he wrote on X.

Kim also shared how they handle the utensils and condiments in zero gravity, by simply sticking it to the table.

“One thing you’ll notice that is different about our dinner table is that we orient tape such that the sticky side is facing up. This allows us to stick food, utensils and condiments to our table. Otherwise, everything would float away,” he added.
