Happy National Sushi Day: Sushi, history, cooking styles, so much more
Sushi is Japan. Japan is sushi. Sushi is a traditional Japanese dish made with vinegared rice paired with seafood, vegetables, eggs, and other ingredients, when needed.
As for the origins of sushi, it traces its history from over a thousand years to an Asian food preservation that evolved in Japan into the sushi you know today.
Sushi is not a one-size-fits-all. Whether it’s a Japanese buffet, or plating, the most famous types of sushis are nigiri, maki, sashimi-style presentations, temaki, and uramaki.
To prepare sushi involves cooking short-grain rice, seasoning it with rice vinegar – of the Japanese style for better taste – sugar, and salt, then combining it with carefully-selected fillings or toppings.
Some sushis may also feature raw fish, cooked seafood, or vegetables. The most common preparation styles include hand-formed, rolled, pressed, and molded sushi, highlighting freshness, balance, presentation, and flavor. Yum, yum, yum!
