Sushi Rice

Sushi Rice

This classic vinegared, firm, sticky, short-grain white rice is the foundation for all sushi.  And, at least in my opinion, it’s one of the main factors that separates the so-so sushi from the stellar sushi.  The good news for us is that excellent sushi rice is quite easy to make at home in either a rice cooker, pressure cooker or on the stovetop.  And all you need to make it are five basic ingredients! Here is Sushi rice recipe.

I admittedly go the non-traditional route and just use a basic mixing bowl and spatula for the rice-folding process, which is a method that has always works just fine for us.  But if you would like to make your sushi rice the traditional Japanese way, I have included options below for how to use a wooden hangiri, rice paddle and a fan to fold and cool your sushi.  Whichever method you choose, the end result will be a delicious batch of seasoned sticky rice that will work perfectly in your favorite recipe for sushi, poke bowls, onigiri and more.
