Japanese food with Not professional Chef !

 

Japanese Food is one of my favorite Menu so I am not expert in this kind of menu I just had been work and love to cook sometime.So I would like to share some my little knowledge and if there is something not right or you have more experience we can share.

Anyway, Today I would like to start with Easy menu and popular one.You properly know Nigiri sushi which are popular and easy to looking for in super market or any restaurant.

Shall we start from the meaning of Sushi.

Sushi a food of Japanese origin consisting of cooked vinegared rice (shari) combined with other ingredients (neta). Neta and forms of sushi presentation vary, but the ingredient which all sushi have in common is shari. The most common neta is seafood.

Neta = Topping ( tuna , salmon , squid , shrimp)


How  To Make Nigiri Sushi

Nigiri sushi is the most popular style of sushi in restaurants today. Served in pairs and seasoned with a speck of wasabi, nigiri sushi is a delicate and tasty treat. 

 

You will needs

-       2 boiled shrimp

-       2 sliced of tuna

-       2 sliced of salmon

-       120 g sushi rice

-       ½ stp wasabi paste , for each slice

-       2 cups su water (water with dash of vinegar)

-       1 sharp knife

1      Step 1 : Slice The Fish

Slice the tuna , salmon and shrimp into slice .Cut two half an ounce slice of each

2      Step 2: Wet Your Hands

Wet both hands in su water and rub together, leaving them wet .Su water is water with a dash of vinegar added to it.

3      Step 3 : Roll The Rice

Grab a small palmful of rice with your right hand and squeeze together firmly until sticks together.

4      Step 4 :A Dab of wasabi

After picking up a slice of tuna with your left hand, dab a little wasabi on the fish with the right index finger of your right hand.

5      Step 5 :Shape your Sushi

Now add the squeezed rice to the tuna , placing the tuna with the wasabi side towards the rice.

6      Holding the tuna and rice in your left hand , use two fingers of your right hand to shape it into rectangle with rounded corners.To do this you need to rotate and flip the rice and tuna, while pressing with your two fingers at the same time.

7      Step 6 : Salmon and Shrimp

Now repeat the process with the salmon and shrimp to make three types of nigiri sushi.Take your time rolling the rice into the right shape.

8      Step 7 : Garnish & Serve

 

If you have always been interested in sushi, but a little intimidated to try,I hope my blog will  get you started! Sushi is a healthy, fun and tasty way to add a different taste to dinner.

 

 

Do you like Tuna ?

What part of Tuna that you think is the best taste ?

One more working day! We will have long weekend. Do you have any plan for your weekend. I have some good Menu if there is anyone would like to stay with your family or plan to have some activity to cook some food and will go out to have some Picnic.

Its" Onikiri " Rice mixed with any ingredient as what you like and make a shape as triangle or any shape.

It's very easy to make just take Japanese rice or we can apply with Steam Thai rice to make a shape same as the photo.And then can add any stuffing  such as Mayonnaise, vegetable , fish , any fruit if you like to make it fantasy. Or you can see how to make " Onikiri shape " same as the photo as bellowing:

* Hope you can enjoy with your long Weekend *
