]]>The first thing that needs to be done is selecting quality fish. When you buy regular salmon at the store, it’s not necessarily the highest quality around, whereas sushi chefs specifically choose the best quality cuts you can find.
Another thing that must be done before using raw fish for sushi is freezing it for a considerable amount of time. This helps kill all of the potential toxins and bacteria that may inhabit the fish.
Finally, another thing that separates raw fish in sushi from the rest is the fact that it’s cut by professional sushi chefs. You may not realize this, but just the mere fact that sushi fish is cut a certain influences the way you perceive it, which is why is seems “better” than normal raw fish.

]]>Maki is probably what you visualize when you think of sushi. For this version, rice and fillings are rolled inside nori (seaweed) sheets and then sliced into pieces. It was one of the first types of sushi to gain popularity outside Japan. So if you’re going for a classic version, rolled sushi is your go-to.
Nigiri consists of an oblong mound of vinegared rice topped with a slice of raw fish or seafood. The word ‘nigiri’ comes from the Japanese word ‘nigirizushi,’ which means “hand-pressed sushi.” It was a fast-food option for workers on the go during the bustling Edo period. It’s also a bit faster to make at home.
Temaki, or hand-rolled sushi, is special for its communal and interactive nature. It’s often made and eaten with hands, making it a more personal and casual sushi experience. You can set out various ingredients, and everyone can create their unique hand roll, saving you some work in the kitchen.

]]>In addition to cooked sushi rice and rice vinegar, this recipe requires you to get a hold of some cream cheese, scallions, imitation crab, avocados, and chopped cucumber. Add some wasabi, siracha, and soy sauce for some extra tanginess.
Once all your ingredients are prepped, preheat the oven. In one bowl, you’ll prepare your rice mixture, which includes vinegar, sugar and salt. Refrigerate this mix for 30 minutes and mush your other ingredients into the second bowl.
Layer your rice mixture at the bottom of your baking tray before topping it with the big mixture with your other ingredients. Bake until slightly toasted and then you’ll be able to tuck in.

]]>On the one hand, sushi can be an incredibly healthy meal choice. Many types of sushi are packed with lean protein, healthy fats, and fresh vegetables, all of which offer a wide range of nutrients and health benefits. Plus, sushi is often made with seaweed, which is rich in vitamins and minerals like iodine and iron.
However, not all sushi is created equal. Some types of sushi can be high in sodium, especially if they are made with soy sauce or other salty condiments. Additionally, some sushi rolls can be high in calories and unhealthy fats, especially if they are made with fried ingredients or creamy sauces.
Overall, if you’re looking to enjoy sushi as part of a healthy and balanced diet, it’s important to choose your rolls carefully. Stick with sushi made with fresh, healthy ingredients, and avoid rolls that are high in sodium, calories, or unhealthy fats. With a little bit of careful selection, sushi can be a delicious and healthy addition to your regular meal rotation.

]]>If you pour an endless waterfall of sauces onto your sushi, it’s not that you no longer taste the sushi. It’s that you’re distracted by the other flavors. The taste of the sushi remains, but you’re simply too occupied with all of the other sauces to notice. You may think that you’re tasting the whole thing as one, but you’re definitely compromising something.
Listen, we’re not necessarily saying that sushi with too many sauces is a “bad” experience per se. It’s just different. There’s a lot of sugar in these sauces, and it tends to turn the sushi into something different than intended. You should at the very least try it out without sauces, just to taste what it’s like purely on its own. You may find that you like it a lot better than you think.

]]>Okay, we’ll start with a banger. Breakfast sushi. Crisp up some bacon and make a tamago, or a Japanese folded egg omelet (they’re already common in sushi!). Roll them both up in your rice and seaweed, optionally sprinkling with some cheddar cheese on top.
Now for a lunch roll: hamburger sushi, which is comprised of cooked hamburger meat, lettuce, and tomato rolled up in sushi. Drizzle some ketchup and mustard over top. It might look weird but it’s really dang delicious.
And we’ll finish it off with a dessert sushi. That’s right, who said sushi can’t be sweet? It’s as easy as rolling up marshmallows (or a layer of marshmallow fluff) with crushed graham crackers and drizzling chocolate syrup over top. (Pro tip: skip the seaweed.)

]]>The post How to Make Sushi Rice appeared first on falafelandcaviar.com.
]]>First, you have to get the right rice: Japanese short-grain rice, often labeled in stores as “sushi rice.” When in doubt, ask somebody who works in the store.
When it comes to actually make the rice, the most important first step is to wash the rice thoroughly, then leave it to soak for 30 minutes.
Ideally, you’ll do the actual cooking with a rice cooker, which allows for much more accuracy and control than cooking in a pot on the stove. If you anticipate making sushi often, investing in a rice cooker – even a cheap one – will be well worth it.
Now, to give the sushi rice the correct flavor, you have to season it with a combination of rice vinegar, salt, and sugar. For 3 cups of dry sushi rice, use half a cup of rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 2 teaspoons of salt. Make sure to mix it well!
