Sushi Rice

Sushi rice is a white, round-grain type of rice that, like sticky rice, contains quite a lot of starch. The result is a rice that sticks together after cooking. This rice can be prepared like normal rice, but if you really want to make Sushi you have to do this in a different way than most people do.

Preparation method:

• Wash the rice well
• Put the rice in a pan with water (1 part rice, 1 1/2 parts water)
• Bring it to a boil
• Put the lid on the pan
• Cook on a low heat for 15 minutes until all the water has been absorbed
• Remove the pan from the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes

Traditional preparation method:

• Wash the rice in a bowl of water until the water runs clear 
• Let the rice soak in water for 30 minutes
• Place the rice in a pan with about 1.1 to 1.2 as much water as the rice
• Boil the rice with a piece of Kombu 5 x 5 cm
• When the rice is cooked put the rice in a hangiri and mix the sushi rice with the otafuku vinegar
• Cool the rice with a fan until it is cold
• Now the rice is ready to make sushi
