Sushi is -

a Japanese food consisting of cooked vinegared rice combined with other ingredients.

Preparation of sushi is a very

difficult and long process…

The sushi kitchen tools

Handai (a large wooden tub) and Shamoji (a wooden spatula to mix the cooked rice

and the vinegar mixture)

Uchiwa (a paper-made fan to cool the rice mixture and to evaporate the excess steam

and vinegar)

Makisu (a bamboo mat to roll the sushi in) Very sharp kitchen knives (to fillet fish, to slice fish steak, and to cut maki-sushi)

First of all we need to  soak the rice in water for 30 minutes before cooking. Then boil the rice for 10 -13 minutes. After that place it in

a large wooden tub and slowly pour the vinegar mixture over the rice.

Secondly we prepare all necessary ingredients :

• Nori is the Japanese name for edible seaweed species.

• Seafood (shrimp, squid, octopus, roe).

• Different kinds of fresh fish (salmon, tuna, eel).

• Vegetables.
