I like sushi, but I don't know what all the red moist stuff and the green mushy stuff is that always comes on the side in the same plate. What is it?

The red moist stuff is ginger.The green mushy stuff is wasabi.Ginger:Eating pickled ginger, or gari, cleanses the palate between sushi servings.Wasabi:A pungent green cousin of horseradish and is made into a paste and either used directly in sushi or added just before eating for a little extra kick. Real wasabi is rare in the United States -- often a horseradish and mustard paste (dyed green) is used as a substitute.Hope this helps! ;-)

The green stuff is wasabi. The stuff that is a pink or peachy color is ginger.

The (usually) pink stuff is pickled ginger (the stuff that's sold in the stores is dyed that color. Homemade I believe is yellow).The green stuff (as said before) is wasabi. There is usually some put between the fish & the rice in nigiri & also in the rolled sushi. The little wad is provided to add extra spice (you mix in the amount desired into the soy sauce). Some say it's rude to add wasabi to the soy sauce (they think you should accept the seasoning that was originally put on it), but if you live somewhere where people are squemish about spicy things they are likely not going to spice it up enough, plus if you have sashimi with it you definitely need to season the soy sauce since sashimi comes just as it is.Sometimes it may come with a shiso leaf and/or grated daikon radish. Not sure of what specific purpose that they might fill, but they are both edible.

if your talking about japanese sushi, then it is pickled ginger and wasabi. the green stuff is wasabi, it is like a mustard very spicy if you use too much its best to only have a little bit with the red liquid, or soy sauce, but that depends on your taste.Wasabi is often served with sushi or sashimi, usually accompanied with soy sauce. The two are sometimes mixed to form a single dipping sauce known as Wasabi-joyu.
