facebook share image   twitter share image   pinterest share image   E-Mail share image

Sushi rice is a staple ingredient in many Japanese dishes, including sushi, onigiri, and chirashi. It is a short-grain rice that is cooked with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. This gives it a slightly sweet and tangy flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients in sushi. Sushi rice is also stickier than regular rice, which makes it easier to work with when rolling sushi.

This article provides three different recipes for making sushi rice. The first recipe is a basic method that uses only four ingredients: rice, water, rice vinegar, and sugar. The second recipe adds a bit of mirin and sake to the mixture, which gives the rice a more complex flavor. The third recipe is a vegan version of sushi rice that uses apple cider vinegar instead of rice vinegar.

No matter which recipe you choose, you'll end up with delicious and authentic sushi rice that you can use to make your favorite Japanese dishes.

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups uncooked glutinous white rice (sushi rice)
3 cups water

1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Rinse the rice in a strainer or colander until the water runs clear. Combine with water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 20 minutes. Rice should be tender and water should be absorbed. Cool until cool enough to handle.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, oil, sugar and salt. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Cool, then stir into the cooked rice. When you pour this in to the rice it will seem very wet. Keep stirring and the rice will dry as it cools.

SUSHI RICE



Sushi Rice image

Back in 2002, Matt and Ted Lee reported on how home cooks had started making sushi with ever-increasing frequency. Among the recipes they brought to The Times was this one, for sushi rice, short-grained rice bolstered by the flavors of vinegar sugar and salt, adapted from "The Great Sushi and Sashimi Cookbook," by Kazu Takahashi and Masakazu Hori. Use it is a backdrop for your own home-rolled sushi, or pair it, as the article suggests, with various kinds of sliced fish and vegetables, pickled ginger and wasabi for a chirashi sushi bowl.

Tips for Making Perfect Sushi Rice:

  • Use the right rice: Japanese short-grain rice is the best choice for sushi rice, as it has a sticky texture that holds together well when rolled.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly: This helps to remove the starch from the rice, which can make it gummy.
  • Cook the rice according to package instructions: Be sure to use the correct amount of water and cook the rice until it is tender.
  • Season the rice with sushi vinegar: This is what gives sushi rice its characteristic flavor. Be sure to use the correct ratio of rice to vinegar, and mix the vinegar into the rice while it is still hot.
  • Let the rice cool before using: This will help to prevent the rice from falling apart when you roll it.

Conclusion:

Making sushi rice at home is a great way to save money and enjoy delicious sushi. By following these tips, you can make perfect sushi rice every time.
