Sushi

Read a short passage about how a Japanese dish with rice and fish became popular around the world.

1.1

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.

Suşi, Japonya'dan popüler bir yemektir. Pirinç ve balıkla yapılır. Dünyanın dört bir yanındaki insanlar suşi yemeyi sever. Birçok suşi çeşidi vardır. Her türün farklı malzemeleri ve tadı vardır.

1.2

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.

Suşi yapmak için şefler 'suşi pirinci' adı verilen özel bir pirinç türü kullanır. Bu pirinç yapışkandır. Suşinin bir arada durmasına yardımcı olur. Şefler ayrıca suşide çiğ balık, sebzeler ve deniz yosunu kullanır. Deniz yosunu bir tür deniz bitkisidir. Yeşildir ve pirinç ile balığı sarar.

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.

Yaygın bir sushi türüne "nigiri" denir. Nigiri, üzerinde bir dilim balık bulunan küçük bir pirinç topudur. Bir başka tür ise "maki"dir. Maki, rulo haline getirilmiş susidir. İçinde pirinç ve balık bulunan yeşil bir rulo gibi görünür. Ayrıca "sashimi" de vardır. Sashimi, pirinç olmadan sadece çiğ balık dilimleridir.

1.4

People eat sushi in different ways. In Japan, it is common to eat sushi with chopsticks. Some people also use their hands. People often add soy sauce when they are eating sushi. They might also add wasabi. Wasabi is a green paste that is very spicy.

İnsanlar suşiyi farklı şekillerde yerler. Japonya'da suşi yemek için chopstick kullanmak yaygındır. Bazı insanlar da elleriyle yer. İnsanlar suşi yerken genellikle soya sosu ekler. Ayrıca wasabi de ekleyebilirler. Wasabi, çok baharatlı yeşil bir macundur.

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.

Suşi sadece lezzetli değil aynı zamanda sağlıklıdır. Balıktan çok fazla protein içerir. Ayrıca sebzelerden vitamin alır. Birçok insan suşiyi sağlıklı olduğu için sever.

1.6

Sushi restaurants are all over the world. In these restaurants, they often make sushi in front of the customers. This is fun to watch. Chefs show their skills in making sushi quickly and beautifully.

Suşi restoranları dünyanın her yerinde bulunur. Bu restoranlarda, genellikle müşterilerin önünde suşi yaparlar. Bunu izlemek eğlencelidir. Şefler, suşiyi hızlı ve güzel bir şekilde yaparak becerilerini gösterirler.

1.7

Fun fact: In Japan, people eat a special sushi called "Ehomaki" in February. They eat it in silence while looking at the year's "lucky direction." They believe that this direction will bring good luck. The direction changes every year.

İlginç gerçek: Japonya'da insanlar Şubat ayında "Ehomaki" adı verilen özel bir sushi yerler. Yılın "şanslı yönüne" bakarak sessizce yerler. Bu yönün iyi şans getireceğine inanırlar. Yön her yıl değişir.
