My Favorite Food: Asian Food

I like Asian Food because it simply tastes good. Asian dishes also have great health benefits. Many of the recipes used to produce dishes avoid certain diseases from arising such as high cholesterol and diabetes. All of the herbs used in Asian dishes help improve immunity and increase blood flow.

The Origin of Sushi:

The concept of sushi was likely introduced to Japan in the ninth century, and became popular there as Buddhism spread. The Buddhist dietary practice of abstaining from meat meant that many Japanese people turned to fish as a dietary staple.

Ingredients to make Sushi:

1. sushi rice.
2. bamboo sushi mat.
3. plastic wrap (cling/saran wrap).
4. nori seaweed sheets.
5. Low-sodium soy sauce.
