>the one good thing to come out of Japan
t. never been there

sushi is the entry level japanese dish

a bowl of seasoned rice topped with fish would taste the same

>>16478688
probably the worst thing to come out of japan and incorporated by america
shitty random rolls with a bunch of random "hipster" ingredients

>>16478749
kaisendon is indeed tasty

the difference is in isolating types of fish and balancing flavours for each bite

Rice is one of the most versatile ingredients in cooking and you people act like the only thing you're allowed to do with it is put a lump of raw fish on top

>>16478800
even just talking about authentic styles of sushi this retarded post isn't close to accurate

>>16478816
If I make sushi with cucumber and avocado, what are you going to do?

In as much detail as possible, tell me what you'll do about it.

>>16478821
kappamaki are great
don't know why you would add avocado; it's too mushy for sushi and doesn't go well

i'm going downstairs to grab a beer

>>16478833
>don't know why you would add avocado; it's too mushy for sushi and doesn't go well
It adds a pleasant fattiness that works well with the starch of the rice and the acidity of its vinegar seasoning

>>16478839
texture is the problem
try fatty tuna or sea urchin roe instead
maybe better on their own instead of combined with cucumber
if your rice is noticeably acidic to the point that it requires 'balance', you are probably using too much vinegar or the wrong type, maybe adjust that

sushi is gay and you should go dilate

>>16478848
lol
i come back and some guy is replying for me
in the same manner of speech
with the same beliefs
>>16478833
>avocado; it's too mushy for sushi

I've been enjoying my own sushi at home lately. It's simple to make and delicious once you get the sushi rice, rice vinegar, imitation crab, it's time to dine like a Nippon King

>>16478688
sushi was made in america

>>16478796
日本料理がおいしいだ

What's the BEST non-alcoholic drink to have with sushi? I had some peppermint tea with mine this morning and it was pretty dope. Looking for other suggestions. Pop? Juice? Other teas?

>>16478850
stay mad, autist

>>16478688
Actually the sushi in your pic was invented by Norway.

fish is yucky gross poopoo garbage

>>16479325
Looks good, anon. I've been wanting to make same. Would you say this one is entry level?

>>16478796
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.

>>16480165
I'm guessing you are not really Chinese.

>>16480103
thank you!

yes, this was very simple - entry level for sure. the difficult parts are 1. procuring ingredients and 2. having the patience to julienne the veggies.

here is a SLIM recipe to avoid gimmicky ad shilling FAGGOT websites:

make 1 cup sushi rice
add 2 tbsp rice vinegar to it after its cooked

julienne cucumber or zucchini or both, like I did (I also steamed mine a bit cus I hate raw veggies)

prep the fish of your choice with the method of your choice. I chose to steam frozen Presidents Choice Atlantic salmon.

get your nori
wet your hands and slather on the rice
add the veggies,
fish,
imitation crab (remember to cook/steam that too),

roll it all up in a bamboo sushi mat (I bought one for under 2$ CAD when I got imitation crab, nori, rice vinegar, etc last night from TNT supermarket)

cut with a wetted knife on eat slice. it helps a LOT.

last step, and most importantly, don't die.

eat.
cheers

>>16480214
You can roast the nori over a fire before using it.
It will improve the texture, taste and aroma.
It also makes it easier to digest.

>>16478688
It takes practice. Depending on altitude I find the moisture required in the rice changes as well. I make my rice with an extra 1/2 cup of water and stir in the sugar and vinegar immediately after it's cooked. Also keeps in the fridge a bit better. Stuff every sushi guy on YT says to do the opposite of.

For rolls just don't over stuff them or get stingy trying to save half a sheet of nori. Spread the rice on it by pinching and dropping it not mushing it out
Use less ingredients rather than more. Roll tight and pack in the ends. Sharp knife with a lot of water on your hands and knife when cutting
Water is key desu

>>16480458
works on an electric coil too

>>16480458
>>16480493
it doesn't make it flakey? better not be trolling me, or I'll run you over with my van. I had an anon fuck with me before. cant remember what, but he old me to fry something in a pan to improve it, and it made a mess

>>16480493
>works on an electric coil too
Better than a gas flame because you can roast without burning.

>>16480548
If you're unsure, bake it this way to avoid mistakes.

>>16478732
temakizushi is my favorite, especially if you crisp up the nori over a grill super quick before using.

>>16479325
How does it compare cost-wise? I know its significantly cheaper, but have you noted any rough numbers on what a meal might cost you per serving?

>>16480627
Frogtranny busy here instead of minding his threads on /tg/. Delete your post.

>>16480627
10 sheets nori for $2
10 portions imitation crab (2 packs?) $4
25? Portions of rice for roll $16?
Avocados are the expensive part I believe
I think you get like 2-3 rolls per avocado
Overall cheaper than the $6 for 1 California roll anywhere else

>>16480627

you BETTER fucking believe (((I))) do, nlgger.

prices in CAD.

1 roll/6pc california roll sushi, takeout (no tip) from a decent place $7.20

Now sit tight, here is the comparison, bro.

For 4 (four) sushi rolls at HOME (24 pieces)

Sushi rice 1 cup, $0.50
rice vinegar, $0.40
nori $1.40
imitation crab $0.60
salmon (not even in a Cali roll) $1.00
cucumber and zucchini $0.30
avocado $0.70

total for four homemade rolls: $4.50
normalized, $1.13

so its 84% (((cheaper))) to DIY,

>>16480684
>>16480722

Holy hell that's significantly better than I guessed. Knew it was much cheaper but not THAT much cheaper Thanks for the breakdown frens, you motivated me to do this shit at home

>>16480734
Good luck I know you can become the master
It can be frustrating. Just takes practice and resisting the urge to overfill

>>16480734
that's right, shlomo. post pics when you make it. and mention the 84% savings so (((i))) know it's (((you)))

>>16480754
I promise to shout you out when I post my horrific jap sloppa, then again when I finally learn to roll something kino

>>16480769
excellent. prima. I will not run you over with my van now.

>>16478796
taste the same. soy sauce sake and miso

>>16478688
>Aka the one good thing to come out of Japan
Hrm.
I'd do a cold soba noodle with dipping sauce first.
Sukiyaki in the opposite season, warm cozy and long lasting.
I've had better taiwanese ramen, where the pork stock originated, but a well ramen is always a treat.
Bar tidbits like yakitori, or beef negamaki, that hibanchi cooked crispy browned crust on them.
A thicker gummier gyoza wrapper is kind of a nice change from the delicate pot sticker.

>>16478796
You just naming random dishes, especially when they have the same ingredients is just making your case worse. You can't even compare the two. China is one of the most varied cuisines in the world. China's diversity in flavors and tastes can make Japan a region for their own country and be slightly behind szechuan cuisine. Japan is behind China, Thai and maybe even India in terms of food diversity and traditional food in Asia.

Those CK experts are awesome.
Perhaps they've been traveling for decades to one country?

>>16480824
This is how I feel. I went to Japan for 3 weeks and ended up missing food I ate back home because of this. I did like donburi though

>>16478772
Kakarotto, Vegeta, Nappa, Raditz, Turles, Bardock, Tarble, Gine.. Need I go on you filtered nigger?

>>16481006
Did you go from Centrair Airport to Hida Takayama and then go down south from there?

>>16480962
I live in Japan and people here genuinely think that corn on pizza is delicious and some sort of hidden italian delicacy. People here are really fucking nuts about italian food but can never remotely cook anything like it. There are loads upon loads of "italian" restaurants here but when you go in it's always some weird fucking japanese ripoff where they fuck up all of the dishes by adding jap shit like raw squid and eel and shit to it and then they try to fucking play it off as "real italian food". It doesn't help that people here don't know what normal bread or cheese is. It's all fucking gross. I have not had any normal-tasting cheese in all the time I've lived here, and good bread is about as rare as a properly paid salaryman. These people are born on this island, they will live their whole lives on this island, and they will die on this island without ever tasting real bread or cheese in their life and that's just sort of sad. The worst part is that because no japanese person actually knows what real italian food is like, nobody can call restaurants out on this bullshit, everyone eats it all up and calls it "honto ni umaiiiii uwuwuwu" and everyone thinks this is what real italian food is like. It's just sad. "Oh rettsu addu fishu eggu andu seaweedu to pasta carbonara don't u kno this is how rearu itarian peeporu eat!". The worst part for me is that japan doesn't just massacre classic italian food like this, but they also do it with every other country's cuisine imaginable. French, spanish, mexican, turkish, you name it. They botch everything they come across as "wow foreign so cool" but it's never apparently fucking good enough unless they douse it in soy sauce and raw octopus to make it "authentic european" food. Don't get me wrong I love me some japanese food but fuck this country for ruining foreign food culture and fuck the people for being too retarded to not know what real food is like, even though they kind of can't help it, fuck em it's gross

>>16480918
Japan can make China a region of Japan. :^)

This looks more like kimbap than sushi really.

Japan is the only country that rivals in the US in making abominations of adaptations other cuisines. Ketchup spaghetti and japanese curry a shit

>red beans

>ginkgo nut
>mirin
>sesame
>cream
>soft batter
>sweet potato
>garlic
>ginger
>japanese version of mala
>star anise
>chilli
>toubanjan

some flavours popular in other parts of asia but if you don't think japan has good variety of flavours you are a brainlet

this is just a list based on what was in the list of dishes
that's before looking at flavours and textures that come from core ingredients rather than seasonings, from fermentation, pickling, curing, cooking style, the variety in wagashi, etc.

japanese cooking is extremely diverse and even moreso if you visit varied regions and rural areas to taste regional dishes
it's a smaller country than chinka but the density of variation is much higher

>>16481789
Saying Japanese cuisine is diverse is no different than saying American cuisine is difference. Japan objectively uses less ingredients than the top Asian cuisines. That's what happens when you aren't part of the silk road

>>16480962
maybe not decades but long enough to know a little bit

>>16481089
based takayama

>>16481590
i know a couple that run an italian restaurant in the sticks, apart from substituting some seasonal vegetables due to supply issues they make very good, authentic northern italian food
the chef trained in italy and in france and regularly goes back to italy for professional development
what you're talking about is the territory of chain restaurants and gimmicky places for yuppies

if you can't find good bread or cheese you're not looking
there are plenty of places to buy imported cheese and there are plenty of local bakers who take their craft seriously

japanese-italian fusion dishes like mentaiko pasta and spaghetti napolitan are a product of home-cooking and only a child or full-pleb old person would think that they are eating authentic/traditional italian food when they have this stuff

you are wrong about french, don't know about spanish or mexican, don't give a shit about turkroach, but i expect you are wrong there too
can even find good e.g. peruvian restaurants NOT run by expats

you're a tard

>>16481803
You just replied to pasta, genius

>>16481805
thanks
haven't posted on /ck/ in a long time
i'm still a truth-teller and maybe people can learn something new

>>16481789
A man who can't imagine the diversity of flavors must be eating only low-quality food in his own country.

>The quality of taste is the same in all restaurants
>If I know the recipe, I can make the same thing as the restaurant.

>>16478688
>eating american sourced raw fish
enjoy your parasites

>>16481890
Maybe America wasn't as greedy about fish food as we thought.
Japan, on the other hand, was searching for a safe way to eat poisonous fish.

this is a bot post, seen it before verbatim

>>16478732
>sushi is the entry level japanese dish

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?

>>16482592
and the best part is a 100g of salmon with capers only costs you half of your monthly paycheck

>>16478749
Chirashizushi exists

>>16478688
Why are there chopsticks in that picture? Nigiri is to be eaten inverted with your fingers.
