Yes, you can braai sushi

I didn't know this, but Sushi doesn't necc. imply raw fish... that's Sashimi. When a friend of mine suggested we try out some Sushi-Style prawn rolls, I immediately objected. You see... I've never enjoyed raw fish/"sushi"... but it turns out that the recipe required the prawns to be cooked, which then meant it wasn't sushi, right? Wrong!

Sushi

The word sushi literally means "sour-tasting"... and refers to the vinegar-rice that it is made with. Snopes.com sums it up nicely:

Contrary to popular belief, sushi does not mean raw seafood. Instead, the word refers to the vinegared rice that can (but need not) be paired with raw seafood.

Prawn Cucumber (sushi-looking) Rolls

In this episode of BraaiBoy TV, I recreate the dish from that night... Technically, it's not sushi either (since it doesn't use the vinegar-rice), but it looks a lot like something you would find in a sushi bar... and it's a delicious starter/snack for your next braai.

... and that's how I figured out that I actually DO eat Sushi :P

THANK YOU

A huge shoutout to Bazaruto Seafoods in Groenkloof for hooking us with all the delicious ingredients... there really is no better place to get seafood in Pretoria.
Shoutout as always to Jimmy's Sauces for sponsoring and making the shooting of the episode possible.

Do you have any recipes or ideas that you would like to see me try out? Let me know in the comments below and if I use your idea there will be a reward in it for you. I don't know what that reward is just yet... but there will be a reward, and it will be cool (public high-5's are cool, right?) ;-)
