Food deconstruction takes many forms.
Just think about sushi bake, where the rice, ingredients, sauce and are baked together before being scooped onto seaweed and eaten.
But can you really deconstruct all sorts of food?
How about chicken rice?
A restaurant in China seems to have attempted this by making some chicken rice sushi.
Here is what happened.
China Restaurant Serves Chicken Rice Sushi
If you are a food purist, what you are about to read could lead to an intense urge to call the police.
A restaurant in China has started to serve chicken rice in sushi form.
According to a netizen who posted on Xiao Hong Shu (which translates from Chinese to the Little Red Book), a restaurant took chicken rice to the next level by turning it into sushi.
For those unaware, Xiao Hong Shu is a popular social media website in China where people can post pictures and share updates about what they are doing.
The OP, who goes by the moniker Xiao Kui Yi Tian Chi Ba Dun (which translates from Chinese to Xiao Kui eats eight meals a day), writes in the post that the traditional Hainanese chicken rice dish was deconstructed.
Rice seasoned with vinegar was swapped out for fragrant chicken rice.
Raw fish was swapped out for tender chicken.
Wasabi was swapped out for ginger scallion sauce.
In short, a new type of “sushi” suitable for the Chinese palate was created.
Here is an image for the chicken rice sushi, which the OP attached to the post.
If anything, what shocked us was the dark soya sauce drizzled directly onto the rice in the bowls featured in the picture’s background. Why would you mask the fragrance of the rice like that?
In the chicken rice sushi image, a small rice pod sits at the bottom, topped with some yellow-skinned steamed chicken and finished with a dollop of ginger scallion sauce on the chicken skin.
You Can Eat Chicken Rice Sushi With Your Hands
In another image, the OP shows that the chicken rice sushi can be picked up with your bare hands, and the rice does not fall apart.
Since you can pick up the little parcel of food, go ahead and dunk it in your dark soy sauce like the OP did.
Do you think this is a great idea, or do you want to revolt because it destroys a beloved national dish?
