HISTORY<br />

The Sushi craze is a relatively new<br />

phenomenon in Norway. Vasco<br />

Braga, a chef at Rå sushi restaurant<br />

claims that it is only a decade<br />

old.<br />

-What we try to do is to make up a<br />

lot of new kinds of sushi but at the<br />

same time to keep the Japanese<br />

traditions and techniques<br />

What he enjoys the most in making<br />

sushi is the challenge<br />

-Ev<strong>er</strong>y time you prepare it you try<br />

to make it b<strong>et</strong>t<strong>er</strong>. Th<strong>er</strong>e’re always<br />

some d<strong>et</strong>ails you can work on.<br />

NORWAY<br />

Making sushi in Norway is quite<br />

challenging.<br />

-We lack a lot of ingredients, normal<br />

things that you’d normally<br />

use – spices, veg<strong>et</strong>ables, and fish.<br />

Norway is also rich in deep sea<br />

fish that is not so good for sushi,<br />

because it has a lot of parasites. A<br />

normal procedure at Norwegian<br />

sushi restaurants is to freeze the<br />

fish. What would be sushi connoisseurs<br />

would probably frown<br />

upon is actually dictated by the<br />

costum<strong>er</strong>s’ saf<strong>et</strong>y – a lot of deepsea<br />

fish has parasites.<br />

Anoth<strong>er</strong> challenge with making<br />

sushi in Tromsø is that Norwegian<br />

tastes are diff<strong>er</strong>ent from, say, Portuguese.<br />

-H<strong>er</strong>e people like fruits, especially<br />

mangos and strawb<strong>er</strong>ries,<br />

Whip that egg!<br />

Marengsbunn <strong>med</strong> fløtekrem og frukt.<br />

Marengs <strong>er</strong> en av<br />

mine favoritt<strong>er</strong>, og<br />

selv om d<strong>et</strong> kanskje<br />

ikke kan inngå i en<br />

lav-karbo-di<strong>et</strong>t <strong>er</strong> d<strong>et</strong> en nytelse<br />

som bring<strong>er</strong> fram f<strong>er</strong>ieminn<strong>er</strong> fra<br />

Frankrike (navn<strong>et</strong> méringues <strong>er</strong><br />

d<strong>et</strong> franske navn<strong>et</strong> for den sveitsiske<br />

byen Meyringen).<br />

Oppskriften <strong>er</strong> utrolig enkel i teorien,<br />

sukk<strong>er</strong> og egghvit<strong>er</strong> piskes<br />

til en stiv krem. I praksis <strong>er</strong> d<strong>et</strong> ofte<br />

vanskelig<strong>er</strong>e. Selv små mengd<strong>er</strong><br />

av eggeplomm<strong>er</strong> vil kunne ødelegge<br />

hele marengsen, slik at den<br />

ikke blir stiv uans<strong>et</strong>t hvor lenge<br />

du pisk<strong>er</strong>. Enhv<strong>er</strong> hv<strong>er</strong>dagskjemik<strong>er</strong><br />

må jo da spørre seg hva d<strong>et</strong> <strong>er</strong><br />

som skj<strong>er</strong>!<br />

Eggehviten innehold<strong>er</strong> primært<br />

protein<strong>er</strong>. Protein<strong>er</strong>, som <strong>er</strong> mitt<br />

yndlingstema, <strong>er</strong> komplekse makromolekyl<strong>er</strong><br />

som <strong>er</strong> bygd opp av<br />

de 20 forskjellige aminosyrene og<br />

de får da en kule-lignende struktur.<br />

Grunnen til at naturen for<strong>et</strong>rekk<strong>er</strong><br />

den kule-lignende strukturen <strong>er</strong><br />

at de hydrofobe(vannavstøtende)<br />

aminosyrene kan bli r<strong>et</strong>t<strong>et</strong> innov<strong>er</strong><br />

i kj<strong>er</strong>nen bort fra den vandige<br />

ov<strong>er</strong>flata.<br />

D<strong>er</strong>imot, når man pisk<strong>er</strong> eggehvitene<br />

uts<strong>et</strong>tes proteinene for så<br />

mye mekanisk stress at de svake<br />

bindingene som hold<strong>er</strong> aminosyrene<br />

sammen i den kule-lignende<br />

strukturen gir <strong>et</strong>t<strong>er</strong> og protein<strong>et</strong><br />

fold<strong>er</strong> seg ut i en lang kjede av<br />

aminosyr<strong>er</strong>. Ofte blir d<strong>et</strong> tilsatt eddik<br />

ell<strong>er</strong> sitronsyre til marengsen<br />

for å framskynde utfoldingen.<br />

swe<strong>et</strong> flavours – all the range of<br />

salmon. (...) People h<strong>er</strong>e also like<br />

fried food.<br />

READY MADE, AND WHY IT HAS<br />

TO BE EXPENSIVE<br />

Asked about his opinion of the<br />

readymade sushi sold at sup<strong>er</strong>mark<strong>et</strong>s<br />

all ov<strong>er</strong> the city, Vasco<br />

answ<strong>er</strong>s that he would still consid<strong>er</strong><br />

it sushi.<br />

-The definition of sushi is rice<br />

with vinegar. Su means vinegar<br />

and “shi” is abbreviation of “meshi”,<br />

which is one of many ways to<br />

prepare rice.<br />

Vasco tells us that even the Japanese<br />

people don’t eat sushi ev<strong>er</strong>y<br />

day, and that it is expensive even<br />

in Japan.<br />

L u f t b o b l e n e<br />

som piskes inn<br />

<strong>er</strong> også hydrofobe<br />

og de hydrofobe<br />

delene<br />

av proteinene i<br />

eggehviten vil<br />

orient<strong>er</strong>e seg<br />

mot boblene<br />

og stabilis<strong>er</strong>e<br />

de slik at de ikke forsvinn<strong>er</strong>.<br />

Marengsen må hell<strong>er</strong> ikke piskes<br />

for mye, en viss andel av proteinene<br />

må ikke denatur<strong>er</strong>es, fordi<br />

foldede protein<strong>er</strong> trengs for å<br />

binde vann.<br />

Eggeplomm<strong>er</strong> d<strong>er</strong>imot innehold<strong>er</strong><br />

blant ann<strong>et</strong> f<strong>et</strong>t og andre<br />

komponent<strong>er</strong>, og d<strong>et</strong> vil binde til<br />

proteinene og ødelegge stabili-<br />

- When your fath<strong>er</strong> g<strong>et</strong>s a raise or<br />

you g<strong>et</strong> married or on your birthday<br />

you go out and eat sushi.<br />

He himself claims that he’d pref<strong>er</strong><br />

to spend a bit more money on one<br />

trip to a restaurant, rath<strong>er</strong> than eating<br />

sushi ev<strong>er</strong>y day.<br />

TIPS<br />

-You need around 10 years of exp<strong>er</strong>ience<br />

to make good sushi as<br />

a chef. – says Vasco, when asked<br />

how long it took him to learn how<br />

to make sushi.<br />

Fortunately, he also states that it<br />

isn’t impossible to make- even as<br />

a lay p<strong>er</strong>son.<br />

-Go for the salmon, which is a<br />

plain flavour, you can mix it; you<br />

can make it spicy, swe<strong>et</strong>. Play with<br />

the fruits – mangos, strawb<strong>er</strong>ries,<br />

s<strong>er</strong>ingen av boblene slik at marengsen<br />

ikke blir stiv.<br />

Av samme grunn bør man visstnok<br />

ikke bruke plastboll<strong>er</strong>, fordi<br />

plasten l<strong>et</strong>t blir kontamin<strong>er</strong>t <strong>med</strong><br />

f<strong>et</strong>tmolekyl<strong>er</strong>(selv om du vask<strong>er</strong><br />

<strong>med</strong> zalo). Glassboll<strong>er</strong> <strong>er</strong> bedre,<br />

men all<strong>er</strong> best <strong>er</strong> kobb<strong>er</strong>-boll<strong>er</strong>.<br />

En mulig forklaring for d<strong>et</strong>te <strong>er</strong> at<br />

conalbumin, som <strong>er</strong> <strong>et</strong> av proteinene<br />

i eggehviten, bind<strong>er</strong> m<strong>et</strong>al-<br />

apples. You can go for the flavours<br />

that you think of when you think<br />

of a salad or a swe<strong>et</strong>.<br />

Vasco proposes for the young<br />

sushi-noob to have a salad in<br />

mind when they’re making sushi.<br />

Just like a salad, sushi is a mixture<br />

of simple, fresh flavors. You have<br />

to think of how to make each individual<br />

flavor stand out.<br />

-It takes around two-three hours<br />

to prepare a sushi. Forty minutes<br />

just for the rice. The part you see<br />

in a restaurant – making rolls – is<br />

actually the easiest part and the<br />

fastest part. All ingredients need<br />

hours of preparation before that.<br />

When asked about the hardest<br />

part of the process, Vasco answ<strong>er</strong>s<br />

without hesitation – Rice!<br />

l<strong>er</strong>, og <strong>på</strong> den måten blir stabilis<strong>er</strong>t<br />

av m<strong>et</strong>all-lekkasjene fra bollen.<br />

Ovomukoid <strong>er</strong> <strong>et</strong> ann<strong>et</strong> protein<br />

i eggehviten, d<strong>et</strong> <strong>er</strong> <strong>et</strong> fib<strong>er</strong>protein(altså<br />

ikke kule-form<strong>et</strong>),<br />

og gir seigh<strong>et</strong> til eggehviten. Hvis<br />

du tar eggene direkte fra kjøleskap<strong>et</strong><br />

vil eggehviten være alt for<br />

seig til pisking.
