      Don't give up. I've tried fixing sushi for myself quite a few times, and it all looked like seaweed burritos. It was awful, at first, and then bad. Thankfully, there was no-one (other than myself) to judge the result, but I feel no shame because I genuinely tried. It seems like it all comes down to
      -the amount of rice,
      -the stickiness of it,
      -and (most importantly) the SIZE of the seaweed sheet (which not everybody thinks about, given what we get in stores).
      Give it another shot. I know I will 🙂

      certain culinary practices could be equivocated to other types of art. where i see baking as more like creating a painting, i feel like making sushi requires the type of technical precision you see in something like ballet. its not that one is better than another, its just that the mastery takes different skillsets

The Japanese culture is so rich, and they take so much care and pride over what others may not even give a second thought to. Thank you.

I’ve never been able to get it properly at a restaurant here in the US - they’ll call it chirashizushi, but they’ll basically give you a box of sashimi fish with like half a cup of rice on the side. I just need to get some sushi grade ingredients and try it for myself.

    Hmm. Been trying to convince my boss to let me update our sushi menu, I really want to add onigiri, but I think futomaki would sell really well too. Thanks a ton! It's folks like you sharing your wisdom on UA-cam that took me from saucier to well paid sushi chef. I'm no sushi master by any means. But sushi has definitely helped me keep competitive in the industry. Then again... anyone with a work ethic is invaluable in the culinary market nowadays lol.
    I'll definitely be sending this video to all of my sushi bois. Very concise and to the point in defining these various forms.

    Man, this would've come in handy a few days ago, we tried to freestyle some nigiri with the extra rice left from the futomaki. Never thought fried surimi and avocado nigiri is a thing, but now it is ^w^

    He doesn't explain why but the reason that the togarashi is not equally distributed is that it creates a bit of entertainment for your palate some areas have more of that seasoning and others don't and the places where he puts those pinches it isn't just little piles of it like he still spreads it out in that small area where he decides to put it. He's clearly a seasoned chef pun intended. I mean I'm just a line cook and I don't have too much experience but it's crazy to see how much he puts into it even for the things he doesn't explain

      I'm a vegetarian and I don't particularly like raw nori (fine in soups), and I still could enjoy sushi very much (ofc vegetarian with egg or avocado).
      You really should try it, it is just amazing. Grab a bowl of Miso Soup while you are at it!

    I would LOVE to get my hands on some of that salmon roe, but is not available in rural Baja (Mx). We're lucky to have nori down here as it is, and definitely eat a lot of sashimi. Very enjoyable video, and I'll be making one of those 'slicing boxes'. Genius! Thanks : D

    Given how much I love the pickled daikon, I should make myself a box sushi press! Feels like an easier take on sushi than the rolls (which I tend to whiff making, haha)

    I have never heard ”Oshi bako” for Oshi zushi. We say "Oshi Zushi no Kata", a form for making Oshi Zushi. Also, Hako Zushi usually uses simply fish and sushi rice but we in Osaka, Oshi Zushi can have layers of different ingredients like cooked Shiitake mushroom, Kanpyo, Kinshi Tamago, etc. and decorate with fish on the top. When you cut them, the layers show up beautifully with multiple colors between rice

    Wait, so it's the rice that's actually the sushi? So basically anything with the rice can be classed as sushi? Woah

    • @ratflail215
      @ratflail215 Рік тому +4

      It was originally a preservation method. The rice was fermented and the fish was very salty. This way you could make food that would keep for a very long time. Of course this type of sushi does not taste very good.
