/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I am the second poster in this thread.
You should post or figure out a "how-to" of sushi with infographs and whatnot about how to make sushi, how to spot good and bad sushi, etc.

I’m thinking of ordering sushi tonight. Do I do it frens?

>>16092400
that's a good idea, like I said I would like to gather a nice collection
of videos and what not but I'm not all the knowledgeable about sushi
but I will see if I can make or find one.

>>16092401
As long as it isn't Chinese sushi I find that it is very low quality at least around where I live, I personally like to order and pick up at my local Japanese place because they don't deliver.

This is a good beginner video on how to roll 4 different types of sushi.

Wrong thread. You're looking for /smg/ - Sushi Making General.

>>16092523
Learning about sushi also includes how to make it don't you think?

>>16092420
>Chinese sushi
You literally can’t trust the Chinks to do anything right aside from deep frying and smothering it in a sweet sauce. There’s a Chinese place by me that’s great and is mostly authentic, but the second you try to order anything that deviates from China they literally serve the worst food imaginable. Their Pad Thai is just wide rice noodles in a vinegar based sauce with cabbage and some chopped peanuts on top.
But yes it’s Japanese sushi so I might go for it because my gf is really tired and I don’t want leftovers.

uni

>>16092555
Agreed, the only good thing I've gotten from my Chinese place was their pot stickers

>>16092393
Never had sushi until I went to uni. It took my friends a few months to convince me since the whole raw fish thing scuzzed me out, but once I was in, I was hooked. At one point I went to this local place twice a week for lunch for a few weeks.
For me, it's nigiri sushi. There's something so elegant about it's simplicity, and yet it is so versatile and exploding with flavour. Pic is from one of the last times I went to that place before COVID shut everything down.

sushi is the most overrated piece of shit food on the planet
just put your cured salmon in a salad

>>16092664
Nigiri is pretty good but it's got nothing on the good old fashioned spicy "krab" roll

>>16092683
I'd tell you to kill yourself, but if you don't enjoy sushi you must've died inside long ago.

What I remember as chinese food growing up as a young kid in Hong Kong

>turtle/shark fin soup
>fried chicken feet
>pig uterus noodles
>fried rice with pork knuckle gristle
>unidentifed fish balls on a stick
>boiled dog meat
>one time, monkey brains

Americans have no idea how bad it really is. No one in china knows what the fuck beef and broccoli is or sweet and sour pork. Chinese food is disgusting. Literally the worst parts to eat of any animal. Makes sense because chinks are the race of humans closest to animals. They make disgusting noises when they eat, slurp everything, men in the streets lift their fucking wife beaters over their sweaty stomachs while laughing and chewing with their mouths full of food. Like what kind of idiot decided 2 sticks is the most practical way to eat grains of fucking rice. Starving Nigerians who eat grass have a better diet than the average chinese.

>General
This shit's why /v/ is half a dozen boards now. What you want is a subreddit.

idk if anyone else has experienced this, but ever since I have never eaten and will refuse sushi made with "white tuna" or "white fish."
>Friends and I go to an all-you-can-eat place to celebrate some event
>reputable and we have been there before, always is bustling
>We are on a tuna streak lately, so we get a whole table's worth of sushi and shamini, all of which was assorted tunas
>We stuff ourselves full, and I remember being the one who ate most of the "white tuna"
>It had a buttery and soft texture, surpassing even salmon in its lusciousness
>So of course I eat a fuckton
>Later that evening at home when I'm sitting at my desk I have to fart
>Realise said fart felt unusual and stank something strange
>Go to bathroom
>Literally shitting orange oil
>It ruined my boxers and the pants I was wearing; the fart sprayed oil droplets and nothing I tried could get the smell out, even with multiple washings and products
>I ended up realising that this cheap fish called escolar is passed off as white tuna at many sushi places
>It contains an indigestible and insoluble wax ester that leads to steatorrhea if consumed in excess
>Apparently there are regulations on its use in Japan and certain parts of the EU because of this, but the fucking FDA lifted the ban in 1992 and it can be sued indiscriminately in sushi or other food.
>Never eat white sushi again
Even though it wasn't a lot of oil each time, it still took three days for me to stop seeing orange in the bowl. I didn't trust a fart for a month after that.

>>16092718
Interesting you say that, my mother has said the same thing that Authentic Chinese food is pretty gross

>>16092393
Had some sushi two days ago. Local jap place has a 3 roll for 12 dollars special. Tried the salmon roll, spicy tuna roll, and shrimp tempura roll. Salmon was underwhelming, spicy tuna was average, shrimp tempura was god tier. Definitely gonna get it again sometime.

>>16092756
That's interesting I've never heard of that and I will make sure to be carful of it. I had white tuna once and It was too chewy for me.

>>16092734

My best friend grew up in Taiwan, and because of business his father travelled to the mainland a lot. He'd tell this story of how one time he bought some meat dish from a street vendor while in one of the major cities. After eating it he developed this horrible rash on his arms and chest. Took days to go away, and God knows what the animal he ate was.
>>16092826
An underwhelming salmon roll is truly a crime. Salmon is best sushi fish. Runners up are eel and crab.

>>16092581
Never had uni before would like to try it out.
Wish I had a good sushi restaurant near me, I just settle for Publix nigiri and a local jap/thai spot that has pretty decent rolls.
My favorite is salmon but want to try different fishes.

>>16092514
It's SHA-KE not sake you fucking retard. God I hate americans so much. Ill stick a sushi knife in your fucking throat stupid cunt.

>>16093083
This is just a random infograph I found on google, I had a feeling something would be wrong in it.

bump

>>16093083
Why are weebs like this

>>16093110
Well then correct it, upload it to a new site, and ask Google to take down the incorrect one. DO IT FUCKING NOW FAGGOT

>>16093083
Oooh look at Mr James Bond here, makin' sure they sha-ke his salmon, too fancy to get it stirr-ed

Are you pretending to be retarded here?

White tuna, or superwhite, is a fish called escolar. It's illegal to serve in many countries because eating too much will give you ::drumroll:: greasy diarrhea! I live in Japan and easy sushi on the regular, and when I went back to the states and saw "white tuba" I was like WTF?! (it's illegal in Japan).

My favorite sushi is negitoro temaki (minced fatty tuna with onions in a cone handroll). Tai, madai, or kinki nigiri (kinds of sea bream) are near the top too. Aburi chu toro nigiri is the bomb (charred fatty tuna belly).

>>16093671
Yeah I only had it once and after posting this I realized that it is not a thing at all and all of it is escolar.

>>16092802
Every meal I had in Shanghai was nasty... except for the burger bar I found. My biggest gripe was the left bones in all the meat, even when it was chopped up in bite sized pieces. Pop a chunk of gristle in your mouth, then crack... Bone. When I asked why, my local friend said "It's a food safety thing... so you can be sure what animal it is." Fuck that noise.

Don't get me wrong, I usually love foreign food. I've eaten food all over Asia, but most authentic Chinese food is pretty rough from a Western perspective.

>>16093690
I don't think I've ever had bone in my food that I've ordered outside my home, the worst thing I've seen is a small hair in my food once.

>>16093638
Only faggots call it sake.

>>16092917
Perfect specimen

>>16093799
It's literally in the fucking koujien that it's supposed to be サケ, but both pronunciations are acceptable. Furthermore, plenty of places just call it サーモン nowadays. Raw salmon sushi is a foreign innovation brought to Japan by Norwegians in the 1980s.

I hated uni it just felt like someone left fish eggs in the sun for a week and then mashed it into a paste

>>16092393
why is japanese cuisine so hilariously bad?
the main staple dish of nipponland is sushi which is literally just fish on rice
their curry is just watered soup
ramen is just inferior version of authentic Chinese noodles
even instant noodles is taiwanese (Chinese) and not from japan

why could the nips not make a satisfactory cuisine?

>>16092683
Is sushi salmon cured? It tastes very different to me than smoked salmon.

>>16095808
>ramen is just inferior version of authentic Chinese noodles
Is it? Where can I get some authentic Chinese noodles in the US, specifically NYC if you know a place. Ramen tastes bretty gud so I'd love to try something that's supposed to be even better!

>>16095879
its a copypasta man

>>16095917
aw :'(

>>16095844
Cured != smoked

>>16095937
Oh my bad, so it is cured then?

>>16095962
no its raw breh

>>16096839
That was my original point though. Some anon was saying to just put your cured salmon in a salad instead of making sushi with it, but what does that have to do with anything if cured salmon isn't what you use for sushi??

>>16097211
im confused

>>16094322
when the pus isnt satiated enough and never stops. or gross back some of its beak

>Ctrl+F vinegar
>one post talking about pad thai
Everyone talks about sushi toppings, but not about what actually makes sushi sushi, the shari. Am I the only one who likes their rice to have an extra vinegary kick.

>>16092393
About twice a month I'll go to the front end of my mega Shop Rite and get 3 trays of discount sushi and shrimp. I'll never pay anything more than 11 dollars for it but it's one of the few actually filling meals I eat on the regular.

>>16100169
I go to an Edo style sushi joint in Funabashi that uses red vinegar. The rice ends up pink/brown, but it has a very different taste. Less vinegary, but with more savory notes (red vinegar is milder, but had more amino acids). It's great with less fatty fish (though I agree that sharp tang is good for fatty fish like tuna belly).

>>16092756
I actually really like escolar sushi for the texture reasons you listed, even though it's a shit fish. I've eaten a lot at once, but I've yet to find out the threshold between having a good time and having a very bad time.

>>16100158
is this a copy pasta? it was posted here a day ago and then deleted

>>16100318

It's copypasta.

Whenever I vinegar my rice... it tastes too "vinegary".
Does anyone understand what I mean by that? It doesn't taste like restaurant sushi rice, it has a strange taste, even though I am following the instructions to the t.
Is Japanese sushi supposed to taste like this?

>>16100318
praise burger

>>16100616
The quantity of vinegar and sugar should be varied according to the type, quality and condition of the rice and the way it is cooked.
It also depends on the quality of the rice vinegar.
An easy way is to use this powder as a trial and add a little vinegar to suit your taste.

>>16092393
Sushi is absolute garbage food

What is good sushi to try if you have never had it before? Also Does the vinegared rice actually make the sushi taste "vinegary"?

>>16100915
What is good sushi to try if you have never had it before?
Spicy crab or tuna. If you like the flavor of salmon, might try it too. Those are all mild pleasant flavors.
>Also Does the vinegared rice actually make the sushi taste "vinegary"?
Nah, sushi vinegar isn't strongly acidic like regular white or aged balsamic vinegar. Furthermore, it gets lightly seasoned with salt/sugar so it adds a nice sweet taste to the rice.

>>16092400
>how to spot good and bad sushi
I've only ever had buffet sushi at the nice Chinese restaurants around locally (you can watch the staff
making them from behind the counter and their turn-around volume is so high that it's always guaranteed fresh from constantly being replenished through lunch hours). There are a few dedicated sushi places in my area however. What are some good tips to ID good/bad sushi and establishments?

>>16100617
Veggie sushi is better
Sweet potato roll

>>16101047
>carbs inside of carbs
