Why California Rolls are for Novice
If you haven’t tried sushi before and you are ready to venture into the world of sushi, this video helps you get started. Angela Chan explains that a California roll makes a perfect starter for a novice as it has all cooked ingredients. Probably the biggest preconception for people who are reluctant to try is that sushi is raw fish and if it’s raw, it must be fishy and smelly. On the contrary, the fresh fish does not smell at all. Before you venture into the hardcore items such as maguro (tuna) or ika (squid), there are many other items that are cooked. Tamago (egg), inari (tofu pouch stuffed with sweet rice), tekka (cucumber roll), and futomaki (egg and goard) are all cooked and contains no fish. Even the salmon and shrimp served at any sushi restaurant are not served raw. The salmon used for sushi is usually slightly smoked and shrimps are cooked.
