Are you new to the Sushi game? Worry not because our beginner's guide is here to save you. This article will guide you so that you know what sushi is, how to eat it correctly and seven different types a first timer should try. So let's dive and take a look
What is Sushi?
Sushi is a Japanese dish featuring specially prepared rice and usually fish or seafood. Sushi comes with soy sauce and ginger on the side. Most sushi can be ordered with non vegan or vegan fillings.
How to eat Sushi like a professional?
Pick the Sushi, using your fingers, dip it lightly in soy sauce, and eat. After eating the Sushi, pick the ginger and eat it by itself. Remember to eat the Sushi and the ginger separately, as eating them together is the wrong way of eating it.
Seven styles of Sushi's to try:?
1. California roll (Non Vegetarian)
First on our recommendation is fusion-cuisine Sushi, where the outer layer of the rice has a seasoning of toasted sesame seeds. For filling, California Roll contains crab, avocado, and cucumber.
2. Inari-Zushi (Vegetarian)?
Another one to try is the Inari-Zushi, made from fried tofu typically filled with sushi rice and no fish. According to Shinto lore, the inarizushi gets its name from the god Inari.
3. Nigiri Sushi (Non Vegetarian)?
Next on our list is the Nigiri Sushi, consisting of an oblong mound of rice with a slice of fish draped over it.?
4. Futomaki (Vegetarian)?
The maki-sushi, a vegetarian dish, usually consists of cucumber, kampy¨ gourd, bamboo shoots, or lotus root.
5. Temakizushi (Non Vegetarian)?
Next on our list is a hand-rolled sushi with different ingredients, often including a type of fish. Temakizushi is picked up by hands and not a chopstick.
6. Uramaki (Non Vegetarian)?
The last on our list is the inside-out or the Uramaki, which every beginner should try. It is not a typical rolled sushi, as the rice is on the outside, with the nori wrapped around the filling.??
