Sushi is perhaps the most famous
Japanese food in the world. In
Japanese cuisine, sushi indicates
dishes that use sushi rice , which is
seasoned with a sweet vinegar
mixture. Since Japan is surrounded
by ocean, seafood has always been
widely consumed as well as rice.
So, the combination of raw fish and
rice, sushi, naturally became a
popular food in Japan. Originally,
raw fish was fermented in salt to
preserve it and eaten with
seasoned rice. That's the origin of
sushi. Even though there is sushi
that doesn't include sashimi (raw
fish), raw fish and rice are the main
ingredients of sushi.

sushi rice recipe for how to prepare it.

Add vinegar mixture to the rice when the rice is still hot.

Cool the rice quickly using a fan so that it will look shiny.
l
Use a spatula to mix the rice, using a cut and fold motion
so that you don't smash the rice grains.
l
Prepare the toppings (called neta in sushi terms). Take fresh
raw fish and slice them into rectangular pieces (1 1/2 inch by 2
inch size). If you are using squid (ika), shrimp (ebi), or octopus
(tako) for your topping, you might want to put the pieces into
boiling water for a few seconds.
