Sushi

Sushi (Pronounced Zushi) (寿司) is a Japanese dish with roots originating from South East Asia, along what is now known as the Mekong River.

The two main kinds of sushi are Nigiri and Maki. Nigiri Sushi (握り寿司) consists of delicate pods of sushi rice draped with thin slices of fresh fish, seafood and other tasty toppings. Maki Sushi (巻き寿司) is rolled with an outer layer of sushi rice and thinly sliced fresh fish or vegetables with crispy nori seaweed on the inside.
