No, fish from the supermarket should not be used for sushi.
Sushi is a dish where the fish is eaten raw. It is very important that fish is as fresh as possible to prevent you from getting sick.

The problem with fish from a supermarket is that they have to meet a number of criteria before they can be used for sushi.

Is porridge suitable for sushi?

by

Sushi chef & sake sommerlier Zoë Escher
There are many types of rice and porridge is one of them.
Lately I have been asked if porridge is suitable for sushi. My immediate answer is no, even if it is short-grain rice.

I must say that I have never made sushi with porridge rice.
I have made rice porridge many times and the texture of the cooked porridge rice is different from cooked sushi rice.

Most people do not think about it, but it is quite important.
If the cooked sushi rice does not have the consistency as it should, it will affect the whole taste experience. Sushi rice plays a decisive role in the quality of the dining experience.
Sushi rice should be soft with firmness. They must not be raw inside, but they must be cooked.
It requires a very specific type of short-grained rice, which is grown for just that purpose.

On the Sushi course for beginners you learn which sushi rice is best suited for sushi. You will also learn how to cook the rice so that you get sushi rice of the best quality.

Do seaweed for sushi taste different?

by


Yes, there is a difference in the taste of seaweed for sushi.
There are 3 countries that produce seaweed for sushi and that is Japan, Korea and China. Within sushi seaweed, there are several different types it affects the taste, the structure of the sushi seaweed and the way the seaweed behaves when it is used for sushi.

I have tasted seaweed for sushi from Japan, Korea and China and it tastes different.

Some seaweed sheets taste part of the sea, so it may seem surprising if you are not used to it.
Some seaweed sheets are completely neutral in taste it has an advantage over sushi because it does not affect the taste of the sushi pieces.
Some seaweed can be a little rubbery in consistency when sushi rolls are made and when eating the pieces. It gives a different feeling when biting through the sheet.

Seaweed is very healthy, and you should finally eat loose of it when you have the opportunity.

Can all types of vegetables be used for sushi?

by

Sushi chef & sake sommelier Zoë Escher
Not all types of vegetables can be used for sushi.
A vegetable like eggplant is not suitable for sushi at all. There are several reasons why

If you cut an eggplant into slices, then it is not firm in consistency. And once it is cooked on a pan or in the oven, it is very soft and falls apart easily.

Eggplant is also a vegetable that in itself does not have much flavor. It requires the use of some other ingredients that can provide an extra flavor dimension.

Onions are also not a raw material that is optimal to use for sushi.
No matter what type of onion is used, onions have a rather strong taste. Raw onions can also bother the stomach and, not everyone wants to smell of onions the rest of the evening.

At Sushi course for beginners, you learn step by step, to prepare and slice ingredients and make tasty sushi according to the Danish Food Administration’s rules.
