[In Ochako's defense, Paul's obtuseness about cooking so far would easily suggest that wherever he comes from has some unpredictable idiosyncrasies surrounding food. A person never knows when a space empire might abandon bowls for the aesthetic.]

We have rice balls too.

[He's this close to saying it as an exclamation instead of a softly pleased realization, but manages to contain himself. Logically, of course two rice islands would end up with similarities. But still.]

I've heard of sushi, but I've never had it, not exactly. Sometimes we'd have raw fish in bowls of rice and vegetables, but I don't think it's the same.

Thank you. I'll have to keep this in mind for my revenge.

[Paul smiles only a little sinisterly.]
