With this we achieve the same delicious taste but less fat. Essentially a lighter version of nigiri. <\/p>\n Another variation is the Spicy Tuna Roll which is sushi maki<\/strong> with tuna and spicy sauce. There is also the California Roll (guess where it got its title from) which is an oyster roll made exclusively with avocado, cucumber and crab. <\/p>\n In a different version of sushi<\/a> is the Dragon Roll where fish and any seafood replaces the eel! Very tasty! <\/p>\n A few other instances of well-known variations include Salmon Sashimi where the salmon is completely raw and Tempura Roll which is sushi with all the ingredients cooked for those who can’t eat raw fish or don’t like it.<\/p>\n As with most traditional dishes, sushi also needs to be accompanied by a number of accompaniments to ‘tie’ the dish together.<\/p>\n Soy sauce<\/u><\/a> – Sushi is unsalted food. It needs that something to elevate its taste. That something is soy sauce a savory sauce that you dip the sushi in before eating it. <\/p>\n\n
