Is it difficult to make tasty vegetarian sushi?

Vegetarian sushi can taste at least as good as sushi with fish.

There are several challenges when it comes to cooking. Most fish species are both soft and fairly firm in the flesh.

When making vegetarian sushi, there will often be some other ingredients such as vegetables that are in play. Vegetables have a completely different texture than fish and must therefore be handled in a completely different way. Some vegetables can be very hard, medium hard and others very soft.

The structure of the vegetables also has an impact on which techniques to use.

These are some of the reasons why it is challenging to make vegetarian sushi.

In Denmark the selection is quite small and there is not really a menu for vegetarians.

Where is the best place to buy raw materials for vegetarian sushi?

Vegetarian sushiAs always it is very important to use as fresh vegetables as possible.

When you make vegetarian sushi you must remember that the vegetables are the star and that they are the focal point of the entire menu.
The ideal is to buy organic fresh vegetables either from a farmers market or at a greengrocer.

At a farmers market is often more greengrocer who compete for essentially the same goods. So the quality and variety is greater. By shopping a farmers market you will find that the raw materials in season are cheaper and of better quality than those vegetables that can be bought in a supermarket.

However, there is a raw materials as well be worthwhile to buy a week before it is used like avocado.
