What's the yellow ingredient in a sushi roll?!


Question: What's the yellow ingredient in a sushi roll?
Just what the title says, at my local china buffet the sushi chef puts a yellow, thick, soft thing inside his roll, any idea what it is? It looks kind of fruitish/veggy rather than meat/fish

Egg is a common sushi ingredient (called tamago). It is beaten and cooked in a very thin layer like an omelet, then cut into thin strips. It might be tricky to identify as egg, as the texture is different than the Western way of cooking eggs.

It could also be a marinated tofu or even umeboshi --pickled plum, which is sometimes pinkish, but sometimes yellowish-orange, depending on the type of umeboshi.



It is takuan aka Japanese pickled daikon radish (usually yellow in color): http://shizuokagourmet.files.wordpress.c…

This is takuan-maki: http://www.mosushi.net/zen/images/maki_t…

Takuan could be found in some futomaki too.

PS: I'm very surprised that John D was way off on this one. :)



I would say it is probably sweet egg (tamago). It give sushi a great sweet flavour and goes well with most other ingredients.

It's egg.

It's called tamagoyaki and we put it in sushi because it's sweet and adds flavour to the sushi.

Personally, I love it.

I'm Japanese.
