Description

Sushi is a popular Japanese dish that consists of vinegared rice and a variety of toppings, such as seafood and vegetables. The key to making delicious sushi is the rice. Japanese rice is short-grain, sticky, and slightly sweet, which makes it perfect for sushi. In this recipe, we will show you how to make Japanese rice for sushi.

Prep Time

15 minutes

Cook Time

20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Japanese rice
  • 2 1/4 cups water
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • Rice cooker or pot with lid
  • Large bowl
  • Wooden spoon or spatula

Method

  1. Rinse the rice in a colander until the water runs clear.
  2. In a pot or rice cooker, combine the rice and water and let it soak for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Cook the rice according to the instructions on your rice cooker or pot.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over low heat until the sugar and salt have dissolved.
  5. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl.
  6. Pour the vinegar mixture over the rice and gently fold it in with a wooden spoon or spatula.
  7. Continue folding the rice until it is evenly coated with the vinegar mixture.
  8. Let the rice cool to room temperature before using it for sushi.

Notes

  • You can prepare the rice up to a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
  • Make sure to use Japanese short-grain rice for this recipe. Other types of rice, such as long-grain rice, will not work.
  • Do not stir the rice vigorously as it will break the grains and make the rice mushy.

Recipe Tips

  • When cooking the rice, do not lift the lid or stir the rice. This will release the steam and make the rice dry.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the sushi rolls. A dull knife will crush the rice and make the rolls fall apart.
  • Use a wet towel to clean your hands between rolling each sushi to prevent the rice from sticking to your hands.
