Sushi
Read a short passage about how a Japanese dish with rice and fish became popular around the world.
Sushi is a popular dish from Japan. It is made with rice and fish. People around the world enjoy sushi. There are many types of sushi. Each type has different ingredients and taste.
Le sushi est un plat populaire du Japon. Il est fait avec du riz et du poisson. Les gens du monde entier apprécient les sushis. Il existe de nombreux types de sushis. Chaque type a des ingrédients et un goût différents.
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.
Pour faire des sushis, les chefs utilisent un type spécial de riz appelé 'riz à sushi'. Ce riz est collant. Il aide les sushis à rester ensemble. Les chefs utilisent également du poisson cru, des légumes et des algues dans les sushis. Les algues sont un type de plante marine. Elles sont vertes et enveloppent le riz et le poisson.
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.
