Sushi is just vingaer rice everything else after that is what you want, ppl make the mistake of thinking it has to have raw fish or any kinda fish or sum kind of rules, you can put whatever you want inside it, if you like sushi and it's about the raw fish for you, then you don't order sushi rolls when you go out you get nigiri or sushimi, otherwise ppl do like the fusion of the ingredients, texture many flavors.
lol i know what sushi is. I lived 6 months in Japan. That's why i mentionned the rice first, then comes the fish. Yes sushi doesn't mean raw fish, but let's say sushi and fish/seafood usually goes together. I've eaten sushis all around the world, in michelin starred restaurants, and more simple places. And yeah i'm sorry but they are rules to it. Like they are certain rules for certain style of french or italian cooking etc... You don't get to mix rice with random ingredients and call it sushi, just like if you cook pasta and mix it with idk curry sauce or pulled pork you don't get to call this italian cooking.
At the end yeah you can cook whatever... i don't think they really are "rules" in cooking. But when you call stuff with specific names, like sushi, you have to respect the essence of that recipe.
Maybe in most american minds what you do can be called sushi. But in Japan this wouldnt be called sushi, and in my mind as well.
Edit : and oh if u think you have to mix total random stuff in sushi to be different from others... then i'm really sorry but you know fuck all about sushi. Like i said i've went to lots of different sushi places around the world. And they were all different. Not because they were using 10 000 different ingredients. But because they will use different type of rice. Diff type of vinegar. Diff type of soy sauce or glaze. Diff techniques when it comes to prepping fish etc etc but by looking at your pictures i don't think you would make the differences.
