How to make sushi rice

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups Japanese rice
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 6 Tbsp vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt

Preparation:

After washing and soaking Japanese rice, cook and let it steam.

Prepare sushi vinegar by mixing rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a sauce pan. Put the pan on low heat and heat until the sugar dissolves. Cool the vinegar mixture.

Spread the hot steamed rice into a large flat plate. It's best to use a wooden bowl. Sprinkle the vinegar mixture over the rice and fold the rice quickly. Be careful not to smash the rice.

To cool and remove the moisture of the rice well, use a fan (or even a hair dryer) as you mix sushi rice. This will give sushi rice a shiny look. It's best to use sushi rice right away.

Makes 4-6 servings.
