Common questions about sushi
What actually makes sushi 'sushi'?
The seasoned rice. 'Sushi' refers to rice dressed with vinegar, sugar and salt (sushi-meshi). The topping may be raw fish, cooked seafood, egg or vegetables, but the vinegared rice is what defines it.
What is the difference between maki and nigiri?
Maki is rolled sushi: rice and fillings wrapped in nori and sliced. Nigiri is a hand-pressed mound of rice with a slice of topping draped over it. Temaki is a hand-rolled cone.
Do I need sushi-grade fish?
Only for raw preparations, and you should buy fish labelled for raw consumption from a trusted supplier. Plenty of home sushi uses cooked seafood, egg or vegetables and needs no raw fish at all.
