Sushi is a wonderful Japanese dish that most everybody has heard of, and more than likely have tasted as well. And if you are lucky, you have tasted at wonderful Sushi restaurant Temecula.
It is a wonderful traditional dish usually made with rice, sea weed, and raw fish.
Now if you don’t like fish in the first place, of course you will not like sushi.But if you are a seafood lover, then you can bet you will enjoy sushi.
Of course, most sushi is enjoyed in fine restaurants such as the one you can find at Sushi restaurant Lake Elsinore.You can taste and enjoy them in a Japanese style fast food restaurant.
Or you can enjoy them in more formal dining environments, like the one found at Sushi Restaurant Hemet.
Or the best way, you can eat to your heart’s content with the all you can eat style.
But if you are in an adventorous mood, you might even want to give it a go and make some at home.
Well here is a brief rundown of the 3 types of sushi you can make.
First type is the Maki sushi. It is the usual that you are used to that consists of fish/seafood with rice that is then wrapped in nori or seaweed.Most well known is the California roll of course
Now the Maki sushi does contain two different types within it. There is the “fat maki” called the Futomaki and it is called fat, because it contains 2 or more of the filllings (fish/seafood)
Then there is the Hosomaki or “thin maki” that is made with only one filling of fish or seafood. But it could also be a single vegetable as well.
Next is the second type of sushi that is called the Nigiri sushi. This is a popular sushi that has a thin slice of raw fish, seafood, or other types of toppings that is placed on top of a rectangular chunk of rice. There is nothing
that wraps it up such as seaweed, like the Maki sushi.
Finally there is the Uramaki, which can also be called the inside out sushi. It is called inside out, because it is sort of the backwards version of the Maki, in the sense that the rice is on the outside with the nori on the inside.Also, inside you are going to find either fish or seafood.
There you have it. 3 wonderful types of sushi you can try your hand at making at home.
Naturally, the greatest way to make it the best is to first try some at a good sushi restaurant, so you can try all 3 styles and see what ingredients there are.
So happy eating.
