To make sushi, chefs use a special type of rice called "sushi rice." This rice is sticky. It helps the sushi stay together. Chefs also use raw fish, vegetables, and seaweed in sushi. Seaweed is a type of sea plant. It is green and it wraps around the rice and fish.

Para gumawa ng sushi, gumagamit ang mga chef ng isang espesyal na uri ng bigas na tinatawag na 'sushi rice'. Malagkit ang bigas na ito. Tumutulong ito na manatiling magkakasama ang sushi. Gumagamit din ang mga chef ng hilaw na isda, gulay, at seaweed sa sushi. Ang seaweed ay isang uri ng halamang dagat. Ito ay berde at binalot nito ang bigas at isda.

1.3

One common type of sushi is called "nigiri." Nigiri is a small ball of rice that has a slice of fish on top of it. Another type is "maki." Maki is sushi that is rolled. It looks like a green roll with rice and fish inside. There is also "sashimi." Sashimi is just slices of raw fish without rice.

Ang isang karaniwang uri ng sushi ay tinatawag na "nigiri". Ang nigiri ay isang maliit na bola ng kanin na may hiwa ng isda sa ibabaw nito. Ang isa pang uri ay ang "maki". Ang maki ay sushi na pinagsama. Mukha itong berdeng rolyo na may kanin at isda sa loob. Mayroon ding "sashimi". Ang sashimi ay hiwa lamang ng hilaw na isda na walang kanin.

1.4

Madalas na nagdadagdag ng toyo ang mga tao kapag kumakain sila ng sushi. Maaari rin silang magdagdag ng wasabi. Ang wasabi ay isang berdeng paste na napakaanghang.

1.5

Sushi is not only tasty but also healthy. It has a lot of protein from the fish. It also has vitamins from the vegetables. Many people like sushi because it is good for their health.

Ang sushi ay hindi lamang masarap kundi malusog din. Marami itong protina mula sa isda. Mayroon din itong bitamina mula sa mga gulay. Maraming tao ang nagkakagusto sa sushi dahil mabuti ito para sa kanilang kalusugan.
