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.
