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.

When do Japanese children learn to eat fish?

Japanese children are being bottled up with fish. It’s quite literal.
In Denmark, Danish children learn to eat moss and oatmeal at an early age. Healthy and nutritious food. Most people eat oatmeal to some extent for the rest of their lives.

In Japan, children also learn to eat a kind of porridge. The Japanese porridge differs in that fish is added. No, it is not fish pieces that are immediately the first thought. The porridge is supplemented with fish stock, a fish stock that both tastes and smells of fish. In this way, the children learn to eat fish quietly.

When the Japanese children are a little older, it will often be salmon that they prefer. The older they get and their taste buds develop, the more fish they learn to eat with great pleasure.
