What's the Best Way to Cook Sushi?

Answer 1

LOL

Cute :-)

Answer 2

Sashimi is the raw fish; sushi is cooked rice with fish. If you're worried about eating raw foods, then I'd suggest the california roll or avocado roll, which at most only contain artificial crab meat. But don't be afraid to try real sushi; you wn't know what delicacies you are missing!

Answer 3

Sushi is NOT raw fish - its rice cooked with vinegar and sugar then wrapped or garnished with nori (seaweed wrap)!

You DO cook it.

Sometimes it has raw fish IN it - not always it can have egg omelet, cucumber, tinned fish, smoked fish, cucumber, carrot sticks, peppers - avocado and smoked salmon - whatever takes your fancy really.

Raw fish as a dish is called "sashimi".


I was shown how to cook sushi rice in a pot but i have to say I always do it in the microwave its easier and the results are the same.

1 cup of rice to 2 1/2 cups water then cook for 12 mins

add the vinegar, salt and sugar after its cooked - or a sushi powder sachet.

Answer 4

Sue is correct - make sure you buy sushi/ sticky rice and a rolling mat, sushi is actually eaten by most Japanese families as a way of using leftover rice from a previous meal.

Answer 5

i happen to be a fine sushi chef myself, even though i can only create to my budget, it is fun and simple. like everyone else said, sue is right. but if you are looking for a way to create the art i happen to know it.

first, you need to make the rice. sushi rice is diiferent from steamed rice. if you want, you can use steamed rice, but it wont have the same effect.

1. in a small bowl, stir 3/4 cup rice vinigar, 3 table spoons sugar, and 3/4 teaspoos salt until sugar and salt dissolve.

2. in a strainer, rense 4 1/2 cups of short-grain rice (white rice) under cold running water until the water at under the strainer runs clear. put rice in a pot and add 5 1/4 cups of water. bring water to a boil, then cover and lower to a simmer. cook till water is absorbed. (10-15 minutes)

3.spread rice out in a 12X16 in. baking pan and slowly pour the mixture over it while turning it with a spoon and fanning it until the rice becomes room tempurature. (use an electric fan, but a hand fan will work fine. the room tmepuature thing is for non- burning purposes.)

your almost ready to roll. in a small bowl, mix about a table spoon rice vinigar with one cup of water. this mixture is for preventing the rice from sticking to your hands.

you will then need a bamboo mat, but seran wrap will work fine. whip out your cutting board and place your seran wrap/ bamboo mat on top. then place the seaweed strip on top and fill with rice. flip over, and place what ever you want into it about an inch away from the egde of the seaweed. keep all of the fillings to one area.

then , start to roll the whole thing by picking up whe mat/wrap and rolling it over the filling. then, press down on the crease the over laps the filling. take the 'cilndar' and continue to roll untilfinish. remove mat/wrap. cut and garnish with wasabi ar pickled ginger.

Answer 6

Sushi is raw or maybe smoked. If it is cooked it is not Sushi.

Answer 7

I take back my previous statement, Sue is right, sushi is not raw fish. It is rice wrapped in nori. Tempura rolls are the best with wasabi and pickled ginger

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

Answer 11

I have had sushi deep-fried in the same batter as is used for tempura. It is dee-lish-ous!!!!!!!
