Sushi: A Japanese style of cooking using raw fish, seaweed and other ingredients. Some of these techniques include dipping the rice balls (kozuke) into soy sauce; preparing the rice balls in a frying pan to cook on the surface or even frying them on a bamboo skewer, which would result in ‘toro’ – the Japanese name for the raw fish
Rice: The raw materials of sushi are rice and fish. Sushi rolls, kuromame (rice cakes), sashimi (cut vegetables and seafood cooked in different styles), makisushi (fish in a thin sheet), nigiri (small sushi), asagi (raw fish fillets), and udon are all part of the basic ingredients of this type of sushi. These are normally sliced or grilled, but can also be served raw.
