you know, Luna I've always had the instant Ramen where you just add water and slurp the noodles. But recently since I've been on this forum we had a RamenFest and I found a recipe for Ramen that adds a few easy ingredients. After I had the Ramen with the extra things, it's just so delicious I could never eat it plain again. It's just sooooo much better with those ingredients in it, and it really doesn't take much longer at all!!!! And not to mention that I am tottally stuffed off one bowl!

All kinda of Sushi and ramen.
Never tried either of them and I want to try out making it on my own.
I donno what kind of fish to get, what kind of rice to purchase, were I get dried seaweed, what other things to purchase (Maybe there are some ingridients that lasts a very long time so I can like buy it now and store it for use in like a month or so) and Ive read that the fish HAS TO BE fresh, no frozen. were do I get this? fish marcets? I have no idea if there are fish marcets here in nroway.. xD........ oh I may know of a place, but I need to take a 20 min bus drive each way... I might stink up the place.
When I buy the fish I want can I freeze it down or cant we freeze it down on our own?... hmm thanks for all replies, I would like something atround 5 to 100 replies if possible xD

You're right, it's best to use fresh fish. Also, sushi can be rather difficult to make, especially if you don't have the proper types of rice or fish. Many top sushi chefs spend years honing their technique. My suggestion if you really want to try quality sushi is go to a nice Japanese restaurant. I don't know how far you live from Oslo, but there's bound to be an ethnic Japanese restaurant there somewhere.

this is actually a myth. In Japan, since the country is a relatively small island, i would assume much of the fish can be delivered fresh. I would assume so in Norway too. But in countries like U.S., majority of the sushi places use frozen fish, because if they try to use fresh fish, the price would easy be over $30-$40 per person, which isnt very affordable.


The most well known fish from Norway would be Meckerel, or Shime saba. Too bad shime saba takes long time to prepare.

If you're going to enjoy by yourself, I think temakizushi would be the best and easiest. You would need sticky rice, dried seaweed, go to a market and ask for fish that would be safe raw. I recommend tuna, salmon, and yellow tail (hamachi). Tuna and yellow tail are relatively safe, but be sure to get quality salmon as cheap ones are not fit to be sushi.

Cook rice and mix with couple teaspoons of vinegar and let it cool. If you use hot rice, the rice will cook the fish and will change its flavor. Cut seaweed the size of your palm, and put some rice and sliced pieces of fish (dipped in soy sauce) on the seaweed. Roll the seaweed, and enjoy.

This seems little complicated, and it is. Good sushi takes time to prepare.
