Sushi (Japanese Hiragana: すし, sushi, also known as "鮨" or "鲊" (SUSI) or (sushi), is one of the favorite traditional foods of the Japanese. The main material is cold rice seasoned with vinegar

(referred to as vinegar rice), plus fish, seafood, vegetables or eggs as ingredients. It can be used as a snack or as a meal, and the ingredients can be raw, cooked, or pickled.

Depending on the ingredients, the price and quality of different sushi vary greatly. Sushi is also very popular outside Japan, and there are countless conveyor belt sushi restaurants around the world. However, foreigners sometimes mistakenly use "sushi" and "sashimi".

" (sashimi, sashimi) is confused with "sashimi". The Japanese often say "where there is fish, there is sushi". This food is said to originate from subtropical areas, where people discovered that if cooked rice is put into a clean fish chamber

If it is accumulated in a jar and buried underground, it can be stored for a long time, and the food will also produce a slightly sour flavor due to fermentation. This is the prototype of sushi. Nowadays, sushi in Japan is mainly produced by specialized sushi restaurants.

Produced and sold. The chef in the store, wearing white overalls, will cut the skinned fresh fish into slices and other good ingredients on equal-width pieces of rice according to the customer's requirements. Because the raw meat of various fish and shrimps has different colors.

, sushi is also colorful and very beautiful. In addition, Japanese families will also make homemade sushi to entertain guests on special occasions, but the method is mostly simple, and you can add roasted seaweed or egg slices, pickles and the like while rolling the rice.

It is also very popular outside of Japan, and there are countless conveyor belt sushi restaurants around the world. However, foreigners sometimes mistakenly confuse "sushi" with "sashimi" (sashimi), which is also typical of Japanese cuisine.

One of the impressions. Although sushi is a Japanese food, it originally came from China. The word "sushi" first appeared in the Chinese dictionary "Erya."

Soup, fish is called 鮨. "Meat paste is called soup (also called 醢, hǎi, ㄏㄞˇ), and minced fish is called 鮨 (qí, ㄑ-ˊ). Another way to write sushi is "鲊".

More than 500 years later, another dictionary from the Han Dynasty of China in the 2nd century AD recorded "Shi Ming. Volume 2: Food and Drink No. 13".

"It means that the fish is marinated in salt, rice, etc., then minced, cooked and eaten. A hundred years later, the Chinese characters were introduced to Japan, and the two words "銓" and "銓" were conflated.

China also stopped using rice to make food. By the Ming Dynasty, sushi and bream disappeared from Chinese cuisine. Sushi is a Japanese dish with vinegar as the main ingredient. It is delicious and very popular among Japanese people.

Like other Japanese dishes, the colors are very bright. When making it, cut fresh sea urchin, abalone, shrimp, scallop, salmon roe, cod, tuna, salmon and other seafood into slices and put them on the white and waxy rice balls.

After kneading it, apply bright green mustard sauce, and finally put it on an antique porcelain plate... Such a color combination is truly "beautiful and delicious".

When eating sushi, the emphasis is on eating it completely, that is, the whole piece of sushi must be eaten in one bite. Only in this way can the aroma of rice and sashimi be completely blended, filling the space between the teeth and cheeks without leaving any gaps.

The fragrant taste has nowhere to escape, lingering in the mouth for a long time, with twists and turns.

[Edit this paragraph] Another feature of sushi worth mentioning is local sushi, which is hailed as the delicacy of hometown.

Among them, salmon sushi from Hokkaido and Aomori Prefecture is more representative. Salmon sushi is made by adding fresh raw salmon (salmon) slices and radish with rice and koji pickles.

Ishikawa Prefecture's radish sushi is made from thin slices of radish salted in winter, sashimi, rice, and koji pickles. Radish sushi is Japan's most representative pickled fish sushi.

There are also amberjack sushi from Akita Prefecture, sardine sushi from Chiba Prefecture, etc.

Sushi "SUSHI" and "sour" are food pickled in sour.

In 200 AD, that is, in the Later Han Dynasty, China began to spread the food "sushi". The dictionary explains it as a food made of salt, vinegar, rice and fish fibula. During the Song Dynasty, wars were frequent in China, and sushi happened to be the most popular food.

There are many kinds of food to satisfy the hunger of refugees, including vegetables, fish, meat, and even shellfish.

In 700 AD, that is, the Nara Era, Japanese businessmen who went out to do business introduced sushi to Japan. At that time, the Japanese used some vinegar-pickled rice balls, added some seafood or meat, and pressed them into small pieces.

Arranged in a small wooden box as food along the way.

It was not until 1700 AD, that is, during the Edo period, that sushi became widely spread in Japan and became a common food.

[Edit this paragraph] Types of Sushi The necessary ingredient for sushi is rice.

Authentic Japanese sushi uses small, fat and slightly sweet Japanese pearl rice.

After the rice is cooked, add appropriate amounts of sushi vinegar, sugar, salt and other seasonings, and wait until it cools down before using it to make sushi.

Rolled sushi (maki-zushi): Spread a layer of seaweed (seaweed) on a small bamboo curtain, then a layer of rice, put ingredients in the middle, roll it up into a long roll, and then cut it into small sections.
