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.

That's dragon eye rolls, if you want to order some. They're goood.

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.

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.

Something I consider rather agitating is the concept of food elitism. " No you can't put ketchup on that you uncultured fuck!" But like it's my food piss off mate...

Well, if you’re already going to waste pack of sushi for the purpose of making a shitpost, might as well use the cheapest one you can find

Definitely avocado; cucumber doesn't have that color gradient but avocados do.

I'm not sure where you are pulling those pixels out of because I cant device her anything but maybe green

It's those crispy edges. They're doing something. I'd try one.

Tbh doesn't look awful

Tuna is ruined once cooked imo

until uniformly gray

I'm sure seared tuna rolls would be delicious, this is just that with extra steps.

Don't look at us for that much oil, that's some sino-scottish culinary styling

But is it enough to invade your pan?

They call it gas though.

I'm an American and I am triggered by the insane amount of oil being used.

Referring to fried sushi as bland fish is fucking wild

If Japan is going to catch strays, invading people is a pretty good reason.

OG Sushi isn’t very popular in my country so Sushi restaurants offer it fried like this. I tried it a couple of times and it tasted great. Too bad it’s prohibitively expensive so I can’t do it on the regular.

Can’t say a thing about your poor arteries if you get hooked though.
