What is your experience as a sushi chef with vegetarian sushi?

by

The vegetarian sushi tastes amazing.
I regularly make delicious and tasty vegetarian sushi that can make a bird sing.

Vegetarian sushi is something else. You use different kind of raw materials, flavors and aroma that apply when you work with vegetarian sushi. This means that vegetarian sushi is more challenging to make.

Different cooking techniques must be used in the preparation of raw materials for sushi but also when making aromatic sushi pieces.
If you are careful in the preparation of sushi you will find that your sushi meal tastes better than sushi with fish.

What is the biggest challenge when making sushi?

by

Zoë EscherThe biggest challenge is to cook sushi rice to perfection.

Sushi rice are more delicate to cook than other types of rice. The weather can influence the cooking of sushi rice.

In Denmark we do not have extreme weather fluctuations which you can be experienced in the US or in Japan.
If you cook sushi rice on a regular basis all year you will notice how the weather affects the sushi rice.

The cooking time and the amount of water can slightly vary from the weather. You must just stay on your toes and constantly keep track of how the rice is cooked.

Zoë EsccherIn Japan eaten soy such as tofu eaten in unlimited amounts, it is a healthy source of protein.
There are many different varieties of tofu in different price ranges and qualities. When the variety of tofu in Japan is very high so I cannot assess which brand is best.

The consistency of tofu is very different some types are soft while others are fixed. Which tofu are best suited all depends on the dish and how you would like to use tofu in your dish.

More and more Japanese prefer to make tofu at homes. It’s cheaper and you also have a freshly made tofu at hand.

What do a Japanese meal consist of?

by

Goyza1A Japanese meal is very different from what we know in Europe.

In Japan they eat many small meals for dinner 6-10 dishes consisting of fish, seafood, rice, various vegetables and meat. All dishes are very light in texture and enjoyed for several hours.
In the course of an evening the Japanese eats a very balanced dinner.

The Japanese are as just as busy as any other, and they work several days and hours per week.
Like so many others, they have no time during the week to spend hours in the kitchen and cook. Therefore, there is a wide range of take-away stalls, stands and Noodle bar of very high quality at a reasonable price, which is used frequently several times a week.

In this way the Japanese manage to eat healthy and have a varied diet.

Why does it take so long to become a sushi chef?

by

Zoë EsccherIt takes several years to become a skilled Japanese sushi chef.
Since sushi is a dish that you don not boil, fry or cook sushi you have to be very conscious to every detail.

In Japan sushi chefs only use a few ingredients to make sushi such as rice, fish, the restaurant’s homemade soy sauce and in some cases topping to suit the fish.

A sushi chef must master the following,

Cook the rice to perfection.
A knowledge of the various fish, their age, fat content, the structure of the meat and which parts of the fish are regarded as a delicacy.
A knowledge of which vegetables and Japanese ingredients used for sushi.
To be able to transform the very few ingredients into a gourmet experience the sushi chef knowledge and experience to highlighting the fish aromas and flavors by using different cutting techniques.
The vegetables and topping is used for sushi, lift and flavor experience an extra dimension.
