In Japanese cuisine, sushi is vinegared rice, usually topped with other ingredients, including fish, various meats, and vegetables. Outside of Japan, sushi is sometimes misunderstood to mean the raw fish by itself, or even any fresh raw-seafood dishes. In Japan, sliced raw fish alone is called sashimi and is distinct from sushi, as sashimi is the raw fish component, not the rice component. The word sushi itself comes from an outdated grammatical form of a word that is no longer used in other contexts; literally, sushi means "it's sour."
There are various types of sushi: sushi served rolled inside nori (dried and pressed layer sheets of seaweed or alga) called makizushi or rolls; sushi made with toppings laid with hand formed clumps of rice called nigirizushi; toppings stuffed into a small pouch of fried tofu called inarizushi; and toppings served scattered over a bowl of sushi rice called chirashi-zushi.
在日本料理,寿司醋饭,通常超过其他成分,包括鱼,各种肉类,蔬菜。在日本,寿司有时是误解意味着原鱼本身,甚至任何新鲜raw-seafood菜。在日本,生鱼片刺身仅被称为是有别于寿司,生鱼片是作为生鱼片的组成部分,而不是大米的组成部分。字寿司本身是从过时的语法形式的一个词,不再被使用在其他情况;实际上,寿司”这是酸的。”
有各种类型的寿司寿司海苔卷:内(干燥和压层片海藻或海藻)称为makizushi或卷;做成的寿司配料铺手形成团块米饭叫nigirizushi;配料塞进一个小袋子油炸豆腐称为inarizushi;和配料曾散落在一碗寿司饭所谓的chirashi-zushi。
In Japanese cuisine, sushi is vinegared rice, usually topped with other ingredients including fish (cooked or uncooked) and vegetables. In Japan, sliced raw fish alone is called sashimi and is distinct from sushi, as sashimi is the raw fish component, not the rice component. The common ingredient across all the different kinds of sushi is sushi rice (known as shari in Japanese). The variety in sushi arises from the different fillings and toppings, condiments, and the way these ingredients are put together. The same ingredients may be assembled in a traditional or a contemporary way, creating a very different final result.
