What is sushi and what is pizza?

Both of these are foods. Sushi (SUSI) is one of the favorite traditional foods of Japanese people. This kind of food is said to originate from subtropical areas. People there discovered that if cooked rice is put into a clean fish chamber,

If accumulated in a jar and buried in the ground, it can be stored for a long time, and the food will also produce a slightly sour flavor due to fermentation, which is the prototype of sushi.

Although sushi is a Japanese food, it originally comes from China.

There are many types of sushi, maki-zushi: put 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.

Futo-maki is a sushi roll with a relatively long diameter and usually has several toppings.

Hoso-maki, as the name suggests, is relatively thin and usually contains only one ingredient.

Hand-rolled (te-maki), sushi is rolled into a cone shape (similar to an ice cream cone). It is difficult to hold with chopsticks, so it is usually eaten with hands.

To roll (ura-maki), wrap the center ingredient in seaweed and then wrap it in rice.

Sprinkle a layer of sesame seeds, fish roe, crab roe, etc. on the outside.

Gunkan-maki, rice is wrapped in seaweed into an oval shape, and the ingredients are placed on top.

Oshi-zushi, also known as wooden sushi or overnight sushi, is mainly popular in Kansai, Japan. It uses a long small wooden box (oshi-box) to assist in making sushi.

The maker first spreads the ingredients on the bottom layer of the box, then puts rice on it, and then presses the lid of the box down hard.

The finished sushi will be shaped into a square shape and finally cut into bite-size pieces.

Nigiri-zushi (rised in Japan's Edo period), the maker holds the rice into bite-size pieces with his hands, coats it with a layer of wasabi (Japanese mustard), and finally puts on the toppings.

Depending on the type of ingredients, sometimes a piece of seaweed is used to tie the two together.

In Japan, the word "sushi" mostly refers to nigiri sushi unless otherwise stated.

Inari-zushi is rice filled with toppings.

Common ingredients are fried tofu skin, fried eggs, cabbage (broccoli), etc.

Chirashi-zushi is slightly different from the sushi described previously.

Edomae chirashi-zushi, common in the Kanto region, consists of ingredients sprinkled on top of rice in a bowl.

Gomoku chirashi-zushi, common in the Kansai region, consists of ingredients mixed into a bowl of rice.

People can choose according to their taste.

PIZZA (ZA) "Pizza" is an Italian-style food made of a special crust, cheese, sauce and fillings. But in fact, this food has transcended language and cultural barriers and has become a global popular food.

The famous food is loved by consumers from all over the world.

But when and where this delicacy originated is currently unknown.

Nowadays, facing the millions of pizzas baked every day in Pizza Hut restaurants, the "pizza experts" around the world, everyone naturally thinks that this was pioneered by bakers in Naples, Italy 400 years ago.

Pizza originated from China: when the famous Italian traveler Marco Polo was traveling in China, he liked to eat a popular northern scallion pie.

When he returned to Italy he always wanted to be able to taste it again, but didn't know how to bake it.

One Sunday, he was gathering with his friends at home. One of them was a chef from Naples. Marco Polo had an idea and called the chef to his side and described the chive stuffing in northern China "such and such".

Here comes the cake.

The chef also enthusiastically made it according to the method described by Marco Polo.

But after working for a long time, I still couldn't put the filling into the dough.

It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon and everyone was already hungry.

So Marco Polo suggested putting the stuffing on the dough and eating it.

After everyone ate it, they all said "good".

After the chef returned to Naples, he made it several times and paired it with Naples cheese and condiments. Unexpectedly, it was very popular among diners, and "pizza" has been spreading since then.

Authentic pizza generally uses Mozzarella cheese, which is rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and calcium and low in calories.

Pizza can be classified as follows: (1) Classification by size A. 6-inch pizza (SmallPizza), suitable for 1-2 people B. 9-inch pizza (Regular Pizza), suitable for 2-3 people C. 12-inch pizza (

LargePizza), can be eaten by 4-5 people (2), classified by the base of the pie A, pan pizza (PanPizza) B, hand-tossed pizza (Hand-tossedStylePizza) (3), classified by the molding process of the base A, machinery

Processed and formed pie base B, fully hand-processed and formed pie base (4), classified by baking equipment A, electric grill B, gas grill C, wood oven baked (5), classified by overall technology A, Italian pizza B, American style

To distinguish whether a pizza is authentic or not, it depends on how the pizza base is formed. The currently recognized distinction standards in the industry are as follows. If it is an Italian pizza, it must be a hand-thrown pizza. The base of the pizza is shaped by hand-throwing and does not require machinery.

After processing, the bottom of the finished cake is perfectly round, the bottom of the cake is flat, and the "flange" is even, and the "flange" is 2-3cm high and 2cm wide.

If it is an American-style pizza, it must be an iron pan pizza. The bottom of the pizza is formed by mechanical processing. The finished bottom of the pizza is a perfect circle, the bottom of the pizza is flat, and the "edge" is even. The "edge" is 3-4cm high and 2cm wide.

Other methods of forming the cake base can be regarded as unauthentic practices, which will cause the finished product to have a poor appearance and taste.
