The lockdown has gotten us craving for most of our favourite foods. Though a lot of us have tried to cook our cuisine of choice at home, it might not always match the taste of specific restaurants.
Take it from a personal fan of Asian and Chinese food; home-cooked versions might not always match the standards of our favourite restaurants. I have probably tried eight versions of Sichuan rice at home, but nothing ever matches the taste of Gypsy Chinese in Mumbai.
So, let's face it, restaurants are an essential part of our life and we foodies have missed their food quite a lot. I am sure all of you have some restaurant that you are dying to go to once the restrictions are lifted, and restaurants become operational.
Origin and sushi as we know it today
In recent years, sushi has gained popularity in India. An acquired taste, the dish comes with a long history. Though famously associated with Japanese cuisine, the origin of sushi can be traced back to the paddy fields of Asia - China. The Chinese dish is called Narezushi. This dish consisted of fermented rice and salted fish, and yet it was not salted or fermented for taste.
The delectable taste of sushi is what makes it a one-of-a-kind experience. The pungent wasabi sauce combined with the bland yet flavourful sushi roll makes the dish a class apart. Craving for sushi already?
