Sushi in Japanese, means vinegared rice. Sushi rice is made from white, short-grained, Japanese rice which are mixed with a dressing made of rice vinegar, sugar, salt and occasionally sake. They are usually topped with other ingredients such as thin slices of fish, seafood like clam, fish roe, squid, crab and oysters, vegetables, tofu and eggs.
The main ingredients of sushi, raw fish and rice, are naturally low in fat but high in protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Check out some of my favourite variation of sushi below:
