Chirashi burger way, sushis and makis
l Switch language for recipe in French l
I love sushi, maki and other Japanese preparations made of vinegared rice. So when I received my bentos from my Bento&co partner, I wanted to prepare a Japanese meal. I revisited the chirashi Salmon and Avocado Burger way and I realised traditional salmon sushi and maki.
Did you know that the Japanese now hold the world record for longevity with 78 years of life expectancy for men and 85 years for women? Food is clearly linked to health, and there is no doubt that the food eaten by the Japanese during the past years become a determining factor in the upward trend in life expectancy. Traditional Japanese cuisine consists of rice which contains oligosaccharides, beneficial to the intestines, as well as the amino acid gamma butyric, credited with a stabilizing role in blood pressure. Add to this, sashimi (raw fish or shellfish more nutritious than cooked fish) rich in Omega 3 slightly dipped in soy sauce rich in probiotics and vitamin B3 to increase the good cholesterol. Tofu and wakame are also the favorite combination for their high protein and calcium.
Longevity is at the bottom of the bowl!
