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.
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.

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.

Yes, as long as it has been cooked and if kept, has been refrigerated.
"Frothy" means a slight foam has appeared at the top of the liquid you are whipping or beating.
Can sushi be eaten after 2 days?
Sushi is best freshly made. It's going to lose a lot of its flavor, and the nori looses its firm texture after a few hours. If you can help it, don't eat sushi that's not fresh. You won't be able to consume it in its best form.
Los Angeles was the first city in America to successfully embrace sushi. In 1966, a man named Noritoshi Kanai and his Jewish business partner, Harry Wolff, opened Kawafuku Restaurant in Little Tokyo.
What is the proper way to eat sushi?
Maybe different people eat sushi in different styles. You can eat sushi with hands but chopsticks are ok too. Never use knife and fork ever. Dip only the fish in soy sauce for nigiri, never the rice, and place fish on tongue first. For maki, just dip lightly.
Where did sushi originate from?
Sushi is a Japanese form of serving rice. The rice is mixed with a touch of vinegar and sugar and is then combined with vegetables, fish (cooked and raw) and other foods to make a combination that is both tasty and visually appealing. Legend has it that an old woman hid her cooked rice in a bird nest to keep it away from pillaging soldiers. When she retrieved it, the bird had left a fish in it. Upon eating the rice, she realized how tasty it was.
It is also believed that sailors would wrap rice in algae in order to preserve it longer. Later they would have added the internal ingredients in order to avoid the excessive use of salt.
It is not certain where the word sushi comes from" but one assumption is that it is a combination of the Chinese word for preserved fish "chee" - which was then converted into Japanese as "shi" - and a simplified word for the Japanese word "sour" or "suppai". So technically, going by this assumption, the word su-shi should mean "sour preserved fish".
Some historians believe that the original form of sushi came somewhere inland along the Mekong River, which was landlocked by China, Laos and northern Thailand. The Mekong River had an abundance of freshwater fish. In their quest to learn how to preserve the fish whole - instead of the previous attempts which disintegrated the first into a paste instead - the farmers would pack freshly cleaned and gutted fish with cooked rice with hopes that the fish would stay intact while the rice would decay. The outcome of this preservation method actually produced a fish that did stay in one piece. But the sacrifice was that the taste of the fish had more of an aged cheese flavor, buttery and sour flavor - hence, "sour preserved fish".

On the lighter side "If you knew Sushi Like I knew Sushi", then you would know it originates in Japan.
Yes, though it's never served raw. The freshwater variety (Unagi) is more common than the saltwater variety (Anago). Unagi is generally richer and softer than anago which is milder and slightly meatier. Both types are grilled and brushed with a sweet sauce before it is used in sushi.

About 20g per serving. This is a rough, catch all estimate though.
Why do Chinese and Japanese look the same?
They have similarities, because Japanese written language is mostly based on Chinese. The Japanese use around 2000 symbolic characters called Kanji, which each represent a full word or concept and are directly borrowed from Chinese. Unlike Chinese though they also have a phonetic text which can be written two ways depending on the exact word. These are called Katakana and Hiragana, and are more of an alphabet-based way of writing things, useful for imported words.
Do people in Australia eat sushi?

What sushi is best for health?
Sushi is generally considered a healthy food choice, as it is typically made with nutrient-dense ingredients like fish, vegetables, and seaweed. However, some types of sushi are healthier than others.
Here are some types of sushi that are particularly good for your health:
Sashimi: Sashimi is simply sliced raw fish without the rice. It's a great option for those looking to reduce their carbohydrate intake.
Nigiri: Nigiri is a type of sushi where a small piece of raw fish is placed on top of a small ball of sushi rice. It's a good option as it has a smaller portion of rice than other types of sushi.
Maki with vegetables: Vegetable maki rolls are a great way to get in some extra fiber and nutrients. Options like cucumber, avocado, carrot, and sweet potato are all great choices.
Rolls with lean protein: Rolls that contain lean protein sources like tuna or salmon are a good option as they are high in protein and healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
Rolls without mayonnaise or tempura: Avoiding rolls that are made with mayonnaise or are tempura-fried can help to reduce the calorie and fat content of your sushi.
It's important to note that while sushi can be a healthy food option, it's also important to be mindful of portion sizes and to enjoy it as part of a balanced and varied diet.
