Every country in this world has its own culture to represent and food to taste. If the USA is known for its burgers and fast food giants, many South Asia and East Asia countries are known for their traditional mouth-watering dishes. Most of them are consumed by large portions of their respective population, and these dishes don’t change from one generation to another; instead, pass on from one to one. Likewise, the land of Japan got the well-known Sushi. It is a staple food usually made out of rice, fish, and veggies. It is a simple dish to make, and Sushi is available in various types. However, it’s the taste of Sushi that made it into a continental dish and famous elsewhere too.
Ingredients:
- 3/4th cup sushi rice (also known as Koshi Kari)

Sushi is ready to serve; enjoy it with soy dip or a mint dip.
