The sushi It gains more followers every day in Spain, but do we really know the curiosities of this dish and everything that surrounds it? We think not… for that reason, and to give this delicacy of Japanese food a spin (literally), the supermarkets of Aldi have decided to bring to their shelves a product of this dish that is formulated in the best possible way to accompany and eat It is prepared as you like, but above all with an even more exquisite flavor.
In this sense, we are going to tell you something that you probably did not know… and that the German chain itself wanted to highlight. And it is that, as such, sushi does not mean Raw Fish, which is what many may think. Rather, it actually means ‘sour’ in Japanese, and refers to rice coated with vinegar, sugar and salt. Therefore, what is usually considered sushi, rice together with fish, is not. But what does Aldi have?
Aldi excels for exquisite sushi preparation
In those, the truth is that when making sushi, there are different techniques or types of rice that are used to make the grains compact and, in this way, make it easier to create the piece of sushi. The grains can be long, medium or short. Among these options, it is best to use medium or short grains, since they will be easier to work with. Likewise, you should choose the glutinous variety of japonica rice, also known as sinica rice.
This is precisely what Aldi wanted to focus on for what will be an almost professional recipe, or as if you were a real Japanese chef. We refer, specifically, to an essential ingredient to accompany sushi (or if you prefer to prepare ramen, too). It is a product that has become very famous in Germany, the origin of supermarkets, and that is now seen in Spain as the ideal and sweet dressing for all kinds of meat, fish…
It is rice vinegar, a sweet dressing to accompany sushi
Because doing it with a raw material that we are passionate regarding, such as the best quality fish that we have in Spain. A cod, a fresh salmon or our wonderful red tuna are the perfect excuse to prepare a good rice for sushi in a simple way. But of course; if we lack a seasoning for our Japanese dish, something will always be missing… we know it. That is why we are going to show you the one called rice vinegar and that it serves for all these dishes.
Perfect for marinate food or soften the flavor of meat and fish, for example, we can say, in all its expression, that it will be unthinkable in sweet and sour dishes. This is vinegar that is presented in a small glass bottle. From the Asia Green Garden brand, a key firm in this type of product, they bring it to the Aldi chain as a wonderful dressing to give it an extra touch. It has a price of only 1.50 eurosand its format is 250 ml.
