SUSHI MAZI

Since Mirin and Sake is alcohol based, what can I replace them with, to Japanese cuisine ‘Halal’?

I have been replacing Mirin and Sake with just vinegar and brown sugar wherever possible, but I want to make sure if there is a professional advice on this. I lurvee eating Sushi and have been making them using vinegar and brown sugar. Just wanted to make sure I didn’t miss anything.

Interesting question. You may not get the same thing (because wines have their own flavor) but you can always just use a stock, maybe a sharp mushroom stock that you have reduced to be really intense? Or maybe a reduced fruit sauce, since both come from wine.

I looked up your ingredients and find that there are different strengths of mirin with varying alcohol content. There is also synthetic (fake) mirin that has less than 1% alcohol and lots lower than the real thing. This would effectively cook out, and the alcohol will pretty much disappear, though trace amounts remain. If that is still forbidden, then you might want to consider that vinegar is also an alcohol derivative and may be just as much of a concern.

Just in general, you might want to start by making yourself familiar with the kosher laws and the reasons for them, as well as the similarities and differences between them and halal principles. I know it is different religions and there are different details but there are many similarities too. The reason I mention it…is that there is a very good labeling system in place for identifying packaged foods that are kosher, whereas there is no such thing for halal foods. So it may benefit you to utilize these labels, then compare it to what you know about halal. What I mean to say is, it seems that halal may be the more heavily restricted of the two, so if you know a food is not kosher, it probably is not halal either…so that means a lot of your weeding out is done. Then you just look at your kosher foods and you would still have to know what among them is halal. I don’t know if that makes sense.

You may want to talk to your clergy about this to make sure you are doing the best you can. I think honestly…if you are doing your best to be observant of the tradition you believe in, that is what really matters.

what is the difference between real sushi and american sushi which is healthy?

so i have been eating salmon and avocado rolls with no sauce and i have heard that real Japanese sughi does not contain these thing. and apparently its quit fatty?! please tell what REAL sushi cotains if it is any healthier then what i have been eating.

American style sushi or Western style sushi was created by Japanese chefs in America to suit the Western palate and were fuelled by the invention of the California roll. These types of sushi can rarely be found in Japan.

There are many different types of Japanese sushi ranging from

Nigirizushi (握り寿司)
Nigirizushi consists of a bed of sushi rice, usually with a bit of wasabi, and a topping draped over it. Toppings are typically fish such as salmon (sake), tuna (maguro) and prawns (ebi). Certain toppings are bound to the rice with a thin strip of nori, most commonly octopus (tako), eel (unagi), squid (ika) and sweet egg (tamago). This type of sushi is usually served in pairs.

Makizushi (巻寿司)
Makizushi is a rolled sushi made with the help of a bamboo mat, called a makisu. Makizushi is generally wrapped in nori, but can also be wrapped in a thin omelette, soy paper, or cucumber.

Inarizushi (稲荷寿司)
Inarizushi is a pouch of fried tofu filled with usually just sushi rice.
