ORIENTAL EXPRESS SUSHI RICE | ORIENTAL EXPRESS SUSHI RICE 500g

With the Oriental Express Sushi Rice and Sushi Kit you can easily create authentic Japanese sushi at home, step by step! Cook the sushi rice and mix it with Blue Dragon Rice Vinegar to give it the characteristic sweet and sour taste. Place a sheet of nori on a Bamboo Mat Oriental Express (or flat surface) and spread the rice on top. Add the ingredients of your choice – such as fish, avocado, cucumber, carrot or Blue Dragon Tofu. Wrap carefully, cut into rolls and serve with soy sauce, wasabi and ginger. Enjoy it with your chopsticks, just like in Japan! For a vegan or vegetarian version, use vegetables, tofu or wakame seaweed instead of fish.

Sushi is a dish with infinite variations – you can fill it with fresh ingredients to your taste! The basic idea is to combine sushi rice and nori seaweed and a filling that balances taste, texture and colour.

The classic version of sushi may contain fresh salmon or tuna, shrimp or crab (surimi), avocado, cucumber or carrot and cream cheese.

The sauces are the element that brings out the flavour of sushi and adds balance between the rice, the fish and the other ingredients. Depending on the type of sushi and your personal preferences, you can choose from a variety of traditional or modern options. The most basic and essential sauce for sushi is Soy Sauce. It is used for dipping and provides a salty, “umami” flavor that enhances the fish and rice. Another option is Wasabi: Although not a sauce, it is often mixed with soy sauce for a spicier effect. Finally, ginger, which accompanies every sushi dish, cleansing the taste between bites. You can also combine it with the Sushi Dipping Sauce Oriental Express! A rich ginger, sesame and caramel sauce, perfect for sushi, sashimi, noodles and wontons. Soy-free, suitable for vegetarians.
