The Genius of Wasabe and Pickled Ginger: Digestive Aids Never Tasted So Good
Some people who have been living under a rock have never truly lived until they have eaten sushi prepared properly and accompanied by wasabe, pickled ginger root, and tamari.
The sushi rice is wonderful, too, with vinegar and a touch of sweetness. There’s the perfect balance of fish, vegetable, greens, and spice to please the palate. The varieties are endless, although we have our favorites.
I remember going to a healthy cooking class in Macrobiotics in Boulder, Colorado in the mid 1970s. We learned to make nori rolls with cucumber, carrot, sesame seeds, and mushrooms.
I bought my first sushi mat and all the things I needed to continue to build my skills.
The pickled ginger root aids in digestion, the wasabe is warming and stimulating. The sheer elegance of the art is a tradition steeped in mystery and mastery.
There is a legend that aliens from another world introduced the Japanese to the fine art of making sushi. It doesn’t surprise me at all…
The benevolent races gave us the knowledge to make red wine, chocolate, coffee, and use tobacco according to some sources.
The main thing is that sushi with pickled ginger and wasabe tastes great!\ while supporting the digestive process.
