Sushi

They roll sushi in many things. The most common thing used is seaweed and crabmeat. That would be your center, then rice and depending on the type of sushi different seasonings go on top. The California roll for example has sesame seeds on top of the rice.

Any kind of fish can potentially become sushi.

A kani roll is a type of sushi that uses imitation crab meat.

ikura or salmon roe (i think...) they are a type of fish egg.by the way, ... your familar with this is ... caviar? !

It will depend on the types of sushi you order. Sushi is predominantly carbs from the rice. If made with fish, it can be a good protein source. If made with vegetables it is going to have a fairly low protein count.

Those warnings posted on the menus and walls of sushi restaurants and oyster bars are there for a reason. Eating any kind of raw flesh -- especially seafood or pork -- at any time is dangerous, whether people want to believe it or not.

Eating it while ill, when the immune system may already be compromised and the body's ability to fight off and recover from infection is impaired, would be extremely unwise, verging on stupid.

We don't want to be rude, but we do want to make that perfectly clear.

Sushi refers to rice prepared with vinegar and sugar. It is often served with vegetables, pickles and raw fish. There is a cooked egg omlet, shrimp is usually cooked, eel is cooked and smoked, octopus and clams are usually cooked. There are many types that are just vegetables or cooked substances.

Sushi refers to the rice. The rice is cooked up and mixed with a rice vinegar and sugar mixture and usually has some nori (sea weed) cooked with it.

Once the rice has cooled it can be served in a number of ways with many different items to add flavor and interest.

Chirashi - A bowl of sushi rice topped with a variety of vegetables and fish. It will typically have ten different items.

Maki - Sushi rolls - The sushi rice is spread on sheets of nori, some vegetables, fish or combination of items is placed in the center and it is rolled up. It is then sliced into small cylinders.

Hand Rolls - A sheet of nori rolled up like an ice cream cone and filled with sushi rice and other items.

Nigiri - an oblong lump of rice formed and topped with fish or vegetables.

Sashimi refers to the fish served without any sushi rice.

To make the classic rolled sushi us Westerners love so much, follow these steps:

Feel the nori sheet from both sides and you will find one side to be a bit smooth and the other a little rough. The nori should lay on the rolling mat with the rough side facing upwards.

Get your hands wet, and make about a handful of rice to a ball of rice. It's important to keep your hands wet while working with sushi rice because it is sticky. When you work with the nori though, you should keep them as dry as you.

Gently put the rice ball in the middle of the nori sheet, and start spreading it equally on the nori, creating a layer of rice covering almost the entire sheet except the upper margin of about 2 cm that should be kept uncovered. Later on, the margins need to be empty of rice in order to close to sushi roll properly.

Now it's time to place a slice of fish (preferably no more than one) on the edge of the nori, along with 1-3 pre-cut slices of vegetables (carrot, cucumber, green onion, asparagus, and so on... allow yourself to get wild on this matter).

Using the closer edge of the rolling mat, close on the filling with the nori making a rectangular shaped hill and tighten it from above.

Move forward, continue rolling in the rectangular hill steps, keeping it tight with every move until you reach the end of the nori. Put pressure on the roll from all three sides at all time, especially on stops to allow it to roll tightly.

Use a wet, sharp knife to cut the roll in to little sushi units. 6-8 units per roll - that's your call.

Enjoy your maki-sushi roll!

http://www.sushifaq.com/sushi-grade-fish.htm I did a little quick googling. According to the site above, sushi grade tuna has been frozen at a particular temperature and for a particular period of time. This apparently kills any microbes.

While it is unclear where sushi originally came from, it is widely accepted as a purely Japanese food item. Being an island nation, fish and other seafood is a big part of Japanese cuisine. Similarly, as a nation of rice farmers, this is the main staple in Japanese cuisine. Naturally, the two have come together in many forms, one of which is what you know as sushi. There will always be multiple versions of where things originated, but for an idea of the brief history of sushi, see this site: http://www.asianartmall.com/originsofsushi.htm

Yes it does but not all sushi has fish in it. "Sushi" is the art of the preparation and the presentation. Tamago, for example is a cooked egg omlet of sorts that is specially seasoned and placed on the formed rice ball in sushi preparation for what is called "nigiri" sushi. And not all sushi contains raw fish. The eel, or Unagi is cooked as is the shrimp. Sashimi is sliced raw fish. Sushi rolls or Maki sushi sometimes have vegetables only, cucumber, radish etc.

In ancient Japanese times, they were food of Ausokiki, who is the Japanese god of "delicious foods." He made sushi to settle a war between the Daakasaki's and the Shugoshimas (two races who were the first people on earth). The sushi was so good that they became allies instead of enemies. So, sushi is so special because it joined the first two races on earth and stopped a really big war!

The trick is to not get them dirty in the first place, before you start making your sushi, take your mats and wrap them up in plastic wrap. That's what i do and the ppl at my local sushi bar do as well. hope this helps.

no but it does contain holyness from the gods of the china plant

no

It can be used as both. personal choice... if youre eating it before your meal its an app. if it is your meal then tis an entree

No, Sushi is Japanese. It is cold cooked rice with vinegar and topped with raw or cooked fish, egg, or even pork or chicken and wrapped in a seaweed called nori. It's delicious! My favorites are white tuna and salmon.

Sushi actually refers to short grain rice. This rice is combined with other ingredients to make bite sized food. People in America confused the bite sized foods with "sushi," and in fact many Americans think sushi means raw fish. But in Japan, it only refers to the rice.

yes shushi yammy specially summer times

There are some sushi rolls that are made with fried ingredients. 'Crunchy' rolls or tempura rolls have some fried ingredients in them. I have had a roll that was rolled in panko and then deep fried.

Rice grows best in hot and wet tropical and subtropical regions. There are two types of rice - lowland rice is grown in the river basins,deltas and coastal plains while upland rice grown on the terraced hill slopes.Rice requires temperatures of about 25degree celcious during growing seasons, Rainfall required is 150-200cm and the fields should be flooded.Clayey and alluvial soil is required.chemical fertilizers and insecticides are also used.

There is a range of types, but one of the most popular is tuna. Remember that the word 'sushi' doesn't actually refer to raw fish, but a boiled rice dish. Lots of sushi does not actually contain fish.
