Hi Edubloggers,
Today, I will talk about sushi and sashimi.
Sushi, A delicacy that was eaten since the Edo period of Japan (1603-1868.) was born in paddy fields in Southeast Asia, where fish was fermented with salt and rice, after which the rice was discarded. The dish is today known as narezushi, and was introduced to Japan around the Yayoi period.In the Muromachi period, people began to eat the rice as well as the fish.During the Edo period, vinegar rather than fermented rice began to be used. In pre-modern times and modern times, it has become a form of fast food strongly associated with Japanese culture.
Sushi is a very simple recipe consisting of vinegered rice, (typically raw) fish, dried seaweed (nori), and soy sauce (if desired.) For vegetarians or pescatarians, there are variations of sushi with eggs or vegetables. Wasabi can also be intermingled with the soy sauce the get a spicy, tingly taste that alliviates you nostrils. It is a type of horseradish which they grind up it’s stem to form the paste.
When it reached America, it wasn’t popular as they hated raw fish, but when a sushi chef named Hidekazu Tojo turned the roll inside out and put cooked shrimp, avocado, and cucumber. Now, chefs use more forge in ingredients like avocado, cucumber, cream cheese, as well as some exotic fruit.
