Yaji making is culinary art. One thing I love about yaji is that it upgrades any food that it is paired with... I had a friend who would make rice and beans to be eaten with vegetable oil with fried onions and yaji. It was an awesome combination.

Throwing in a quick comment here - I LOVE Yaji, and suya.

Suya Spot in Peckham used to operate out of what looked like a caravan in a vacant lot on the Peckham Road which is now Hollywood Nail Supply. The dried chilli mix shaken over the grilled goat would take your breath away. I had to asked twice to make sure I really wanted the hot spice, eventually I became a regular.

Something I really I miss is that it was served on newsprint and even the occasional newspaper.
