Sushi

I have started working for the first time, and luckily for me, I'm surrounded by one of my favorite foods: Sushi! My blog will cover the different kinds of sushi there are, as well as other foods typically found at sushi restaurants.

Sushi is a type of Japanese cuisine, consisting of rice, vegetables, and fish. The rice used in sushi has been mixed with rice-wine vinegar, and is a bit stickier than plain rice.While the vegetables are typically raw, the fish is either raw or cooked.

The most common type of sushi is nigiri. Nigiri typically comes in pairs, and is two hand formed clumps of rice with raw fish on top. While it is normally topped with raw fish, nigiri may also be topped with tamago (egg) or a stick of imitation crab. Nigiri that is not topped with raw fish usually has a band of nori, seaweed, across the top in order to bind the topping to the rice.

Tuna, red snapper, squid, salmon, unagi (eel), and seared salmon (half cooked salmon that has been lightly torched on top) are the most typical nigiri toppings.
