The beauty of sushi is its deliciousness, its health and its simple yet appealing aesthetic. Sushi is raw fish that is accompanied by rice and rolled up in seaweed. But, while often eaten raw, it can be cooked for consumption. While that takes away certain flavours, it is still a delicious sushi buffet. There are several variations to it and different communities have taken the Japanese cuisine and added local elements to it to combine flavours or accommodate dietary needs.
Types Of Sushi
Sushi is a dish of variety. There are several means of preparing it and many ways of presenting it while still keeping it nutritious and delicious.
Nigiri: This is a fish topping added over the rice. It can be shellfish or regular fish
Maki: The more well-known version of sushi, maki is the rolled up sushi with rice and pieces of fish and vegetables and wrapped up in seaweed.
Uramaki: Uramaki does the opposite, where seaweed is part of the filling and the rice lies on the outside.
Temaki: This sushi is rolled into a conical shape. Like maki, the seaweed is the outer layer and the inside is filled.
Sashimi: For this one, the fish is separated from the rice and seaweed
Sushi may be simple if reduced to its ingredients, however it is a complex dish to recreate. For starters, the fish has to be fresh and safe for consumption. Eliminating bacteria and viruses in the fish is essential and professional sushi connoisseurs often know the best places to get the best fish.
Even within these 5 main categories, there are different fish types and methods of preparation. Some sushi is served with unagi (freshwater eel), kani (crab meat) or sake (raw salmon). There are several sushi rolls including tiger, tempura and dragon rolls. The realm of sushi is explosive with flavour and, in essence, this delicacy is rich in options and flavours for your preference.
