Why is it harder to cook sushi rice?

by

When I make authentic Japanese sushi I will cook the rice as it is made and served in Tokyo, then rice plays a very important role.

It does so because in Japan, the consistency of the cooked rice is as important as the quality of the fish used for sushi.

If you use fish of poor quality then your sushi will not taste very good. This applies also to sushi rice.

The cooked sushi rice must be at least of the same quality as the fish. They should be firm but soft. They should not be like porridge but they should not be raw inside either. It can be a difficult balance to hit.

In the sushi course for beginners, you will learn how to cook sushi rice as they are cooked in restaurants in Tokyo.

At what temperature should you eat sushi?

by

Sushi is a very unique dish that should be eaten at a certain temperature.

There are many people who buy take-away sushi at the moment. There are some things to do if you have decided to eat sushi one night.

Once you have picked up or your sushi has been delivered, you should store the food in your fridge. You must keep the food there until 15 minutes before you are going to eat. Sushi should and tastes best at room temperature.

What you do 15 minutes before eating is that you take the food out of the fridge. You take the lid off and place the food on the kitchen tables (in the shade) and leave it for 15 minutes.

In meantime you can set the table.

On my Sushi course for beginners (max. 9 participants) you will learn step by step how to make tasty sushi which is the perfect summer food with a glass of bubbles.

Can you save vegetarian sushi for the next day?

by

VegetarsushiVegetarian sushi can be saved for the next day since it does not contain fresh fish.
It is not always a good idea to do that it depends a bit on how careful you have been with the preparation of materials such as the rice.

By that I mean that if the rice is not cooked to perfection and kept in the right way the individual rice grains will get tougher and they will also looser their texture.

The vegetables should be prepared or cooked to perfection, otherwise any moisture will get sucked into the rolls and it will give a cloth-like feel.
