Know your Sushi
Most people think of sushi as raw fish. But, in fact, Sushi means flavoured rice - and rice is the key ingredient. It's how you present and dress the rice that makes all the difference.
There are many kinds of sushi, and they don't all involve fish. So sushi is perfect for vegetarians.
There are many types of Sushi but the main types of Sushi are Nigiri (the rice is moulded into a rectangle and a dressing added), Temaki (seaweed cones stuffed with rice and a filling), Maki (stuffed seaweed roll) and Chirashi (a bowl with rice with slivers of fresh fish scatter on top).
They are usually served with pickled ginger on the side, which is ideal for cleansing the palate between sushi, and bowls of soy sauce or wasabi (horse radish paste) for dipping.
