Batter those bites, then fry them. Tempura Sushi

MacNCheezus@lemmy.today · 37 pts · 293d (7 replies)

Usually that’s done by battering and frying the entire roll before cutting it.

Doing it with individual pieces is possible, of course, but it massively increases the chance of overcooking the center, which usually is not desired.

Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 293d (6 replies)

Freeze, batter, then fry?

MacNCheezus@lemmy.today · 8 pts · 293d (5 replies)

Sure, but that still adds unnecessary prep time.

If you're making a roll from scratch, it's simply faster, easier, and more practical to fry the entire thing before cutting it. But yes, if you wanted to do this with individual pieces, I'm sure that would probably work.

Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 293d (3 replies)

I feel like frying the entire roll leads to more uneven cooking. Overcooked ends, undercooked middle

MacNCheezus@lemmy.today · 6 pts · 293d (2 replies)

You can cut off the ends, and the middle SHOULD be undercooked (raw, in fact), that's kinda the whole point of sushi.

Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 293d (1 reply)

Also, serving the ends is kinda not-done in high class sushi.

MacNCheezus@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 293d

Honestly, I've seen that more often in higher end sushi (i.e. sit-down restaurant) than in the cheap kind (i.e. grocery store takeout). Or perhaps it's a bell curve, where the center consists of "this is expensive enough already, let's not waste food by throwing parts of it away".

I think ultimately, it really comes down to presentation. Cutting the roll after frying it exposes the center, which makes it look colorful and appetizing. If you battered and fried the pieces individually, they'd simply be brown on all sides and look like oversized pickle chips. It basically makes every piece into a (double) end piece.

When I first started cooking I used to burn the rice all the time and I had to throw it all away. Then one day I had dinner at a Persian restaurant and they brought me some of the charred rice (called "tahdig") as a special treat. It was a real eye-opener (tongue-opener?) because that shit is incredibly delicious. They regretted serving it to me because I started begging for it every time I went, which is apparently a rather rude thing to do.

Korean dol sat bibim bap is similar. It's a dish served in a massively hot stone bowl with the rice on the bottom, and the longer you let it sit there before mixing everything together, the more the rice chars and the better it tastes. It's almost crazy how much charred rice is not a thing in world cuisines when it's actually incredibly delicious.

BanMe@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 293d (1 reply)

Had a persian friend who would make tahdig all during Covid and I definitely ate more than I needed to.

And we have places here that serve fried sushi rolls, they are good, but no fried stuff after 40.

I did this once. I didn't realize it was sushi though.

I was outnof town, training for work. My meals were paid. I decided "That tuna is $20, but I am not paying it so why not.

It was raw.

So I cooked it in the hotel room.

EDIT: Another fun food mishap from that trip, I ordered some expensive pasta from a place I had not been to evet, same logic, "Its $25 but ita not my money.". This was back in 2010 BTW.

I went and picked it up to take back to the hotel. Its a Family Style restaraunt. It was $25 pasta because its meant for like, 4-5 people.

There are 3 colors on the avocado parts, a deeper green, a lighter yellowish green, and a light brownish part, which is consistent with avocado cuts and oxidization.

Lol, when I first heard of Sushi, I was a kid and I joked that Japan needed to conserve fuel because they spent all of their fuel invading my homeland and now doesn't have any to cook their food.

That particular Teflon cooking pan... I hit mixed feelings on it. I'm using it with wooden utensils only because I didn't want to eat Teflon anymore but I did want the non stick.

Anyway, that finish seems to protect the Teflon, but its like a file or sandpaper for any utensil. So I'm slowly eating my wooden spoon.

Natanael@infosec.pub · 4 pts · 293d (6 replies)

Newer versions of that pan use ceramics, not Teflon

It seems to be slightly less non stick, and more sensitive to quick temperature changes over time (hurts adhesion of the ceramics), but otherwise it's pretty solid and very safe

altphoto@lemmy.today · 6 pts · 293d (3 replies)

I thought there was a class action lawsuit against the company for faking "ceramic" coating while still using PTFE.

Rooster326@programming.dev · 4 pts · 293d

Natanael@infosec.pub · 3 pts · 292d (1 reply)

No, they called it a non-stick non-toxic coating, they didn't originally claim ceramic.

They claim the new surface is ceramic (and it looks plausible from seeing how damaged pans look in photos)

altphoto@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 292d

This is what im vaguely aware of: There have been several lawsuits against ceramic non-stick pan brands, most notably a recent $2.5 million class action settlement with HexClad, which faced claims of false advertising about the presence of toxic chemicals like PFAS and PFOA. Additionally, a class action lawsuit against Blue Diamond, filed in 2020, alleged the pans were not as non-stick as advertised. A similar suit against GreenPan was filed in 2019 but was ultimately dismissed.

nickiam2@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 292d (1 reply)

Why not just use something else like carbon steel or cast iron. They are both cheap and easy enough to maintain. My carbon steel frying pan is just as non-stick as Teflon, and actually gets better the more I use it.

Natanael@infosec.pub · 1 pts · 292d

I have cast iron pans too. When you have family members who'll make them rust it's easier to just not 🤷

If pure ceramic had a strong enough surface I'd prefer that, or stainless steel if it could maintain the same degree of non-stick.

Cabbage_Pout61@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 293d (14 replies)

Not like it's good to eat it or anything, but just to help with the worries, teflon is absolutely safe to ingest, it's a very stable molecule that don't interact with absolutely anything, it goes in and out basically intact. Of course it doesn't mean you can EAT it, but ocasional accidental ingestion due "scraping the bottom" are pretty safe.

When people say it's Toxic, they knowing or unknowingly are talking about the chemicals used to make it, mostly PFOA — perfluorooctanoic acid. These are nasty, and are present GLOBALLY, like everywhere, from the sea to the middle of deserts and even on the poles, that also includes our blood.

snoons@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 293d (3 replies)

Totally, it's safe if you take care of the pan; however, if you ever get it above a certain temperature the coating will break down and that's when there's risk. Also as you said, how much forever chemicals are released into the environment during it's production, and might I also add that those bits that go in and out are also in the environment forever.

I suspect no one wants to hear about cast iron pans anymore lol.

altphoto@lemmy.today · 5 pts · 293d (2 replies)

PTFE is considered a PFOAs molecule by ROHS3 and you can't use it in new design. I know this because I design stuff that occasionally may need high temperature plastics or other solids. The stuff is inert but its not good for you as the other commenter mentioned. Once heated to 500F or 260C, it may release toxic fumes that can cause flu-like symptoms, liver damage, cancer and disruption in development of kids.

Rooster326@programming.dev · 3 pts · 293d

Dasus@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 292d (3 replies)

Every time someone's foaming at the mouth at how safe it is to eat Teflon, I can't help but to be reminder of the confidence of 1950's ad executives:

Cabbage_Pout61@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 292d (2 replies)

There's a nice video about it from Veritasium.

Strictly speaking of the chemical side of things, teflon at it's normal temperature, is very inert and won't interact with anything inside your body, that's doesn't mean you can eat 1 kilogram of it and be fine.

The point was, if you accidentally scrap the bottom of a pan and ingest a tiny bit of the coating with the food, that won't make any big harm as most alarmists suggest.

Dasus@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 292d (1 reply)

I've heard the argument several times, yeah.

I still wouldn't eat teflon and have slowly changed to mostly stainless steel, which is superior in cooking if you know how to use it. Gonna get myself some cast iron as well but I'd like a larger kitchen to properly start kitting out. What I want in the end is silver cookware.

The point is, your "facts" are probably more correct than science in the 50's, but the fact is those "facts" are still essentially company propaganda to make people not panic over having eaten off of neurotoxins for 50 years.

Or like, are you so naive you don't understand companies like DuPont lying through their teeth?

My dude, I'm just saying something based on my biochemistry degree, as I stated it's harmless if you INGEST A TINY AMMOUNT ON ACCIDENT, you obviously shouldn't eat it as part of your diet, and if possible use a cast iron or stainless steel pan, even though is harder to clean.

I'm not talking about politics our corporations, or as you label it my "facts", I'm talking about science and chemistry.
