Favorite Sushi Types?

Question

I love sushi, especially Futomaki and Nigiri salmon. Does anyone have any other recommendations?

Answer 1

Although there are a number of Sushi types that most people order, in reality, you can choose any combination of fish and vegetables you like. Therefore, in addition to some of the better-known Sushi types, you can be as imaginative as you like and create your own Sushi variety. The first list includes some of the most common ways in which Sushi is made:

Bara Sushi – The vinegar rice and ingredients are mixed as a salad
Chirashi Sushi – The rice bed has various layers of fish and is served in a bowl called Gomoku Sushi or Iso-don
Futomaki – This is a large Maki roll that has many different ingredients using Nori, which is a seaweed wrap
Inari Sushi – Instead of using the traditional vinegar rice, brown, fried tofu is used
Nigiri Sushi – Vinegar rice topped with a slice of raw or cooked fish, or vegetables
Okonomi Sushi – This is home-style Nigiri
Onigiri – This Sushi is made with regular steamed rice and rolled into a ball with other ingredients
Oshizushi – Vinegar rice and other ingredients of choice pressed into a mold
Temaki – These are cone-shaped seaweed rolls also called a hand roll
This second list includes all the various types of Sushi:

Amaebi – Sweet shrimp
Boston Rolls – Crab, salmon, and scallion
California – Crab and avocado
Ebi – Shrimp
Egg Salad Rolls – Hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, and green onion strips
Hamachi – Yellow Tail
Hirame - Halibut
Holiday Rolls – Turkey, cranberry salsa, and cream cheese strips
Hotate – Scallop
Ika – Squid
Ikura – Salmon roe
Kani - Crab
Kappa Ma – Cucumber
Maguro – Tuna
Masago – Smelt Roe
Mirugai – Giant clam
New York Rolls – Smoked salmon, apple, and avocado
Pesto Rolls – Turkey or chicken, cream cheese strips, and pesto
Philadelphia Rolls – Smoked salmon, cucumber, and cream cheese strips
Saba – Mackerel
Sake - Salmon
Shrimp Rolls – Shrimp and cream cheese strips
Smoked Salmon Rolls – Smoked salmon, cucumber, and cream cheese strips
Spider Roll
Summer Melon Rolls – Prosciutto and melon strips
Tako - Octopus
Tai – Red snapper

Texas Rolls – Cooked beef, cucumber, and spinach leaves
Toro – Fatty Tuna
Tuna Salad Rolls – Tuna salad and lettuce leaves
Unagi – Eel
Uni – Sea urchin
Veggie Rolls – Pesto, cucumber, tomato, mushrooms, scrambled egg, scallions
Keep in mind that some of the Sushi types mentioned above are new recipes from people with creative minds and all of these have become quite popular in the United States.

This third list includes other ingredients that are commonly used for Sushi:

Short-grain white rice
Nori (seaweed)
Mirin (sweet rice wine)
Seasoned rice vinegar
Prawns
Barbecue or regular eel
Caviar
Albacore
Avocado
Alpha or bean sprouts
Asparagus
Shitake mushrooms
Cream cheese
Tempura batter
As you can see, Sushi is not simply rice and fish. While you can create any ingredient combination that sounds appealing to you, the one thing you want to do is maintain the integrity of this Asian food. This means serving the Sushi with a choice of soy sauce or wasabi, along with either pickled ginger or green tea as a way to cleanse the palette.

You will find that making Sushi is actually very easy. That coupled with the fact that it is full of incredible nutrients, low in calories, and tastes delicious, there is no doubt that Sushi will become your next favorite food.
