Making Sushi at Home the Easy Way

The Simplest Sushi Rice

Posted by Ryan On September - 27 - 2009

RiceandVinegarSized This is by far the simplest way to make sushi rice at home and it still tastes great. This recipe will yield enough rice to make 4 rolls.

Ingredients:

  • 1c Sushi Rice
  • 2Tbs Rice Vinegar

Place rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse thoroughly under cold water. This is until the water runs clear through the rice.  Pour rinsed rice into a heavy medium sauce pan and add 1 3/4c cold water.  Heat on high until boiling and then reduce heat to low, cover, and allow to simmer for 20-25 minutes until all the water is absorbed.  Stir twice during the simmering.  If the water is fully absorbed before the 20 min is up then add water as needed.  The rice will take the full time to cook and crunchy under cooked rice is the easiest way to ruin your sushi meal.  Once cooked allow to stand 5 minutes and then sprinkle the rice vinegar on top and gently fold it in to the rice.  Your simple sushi rice is now complete and will have the sticky consistency needed to make a maki roll or nigiri.  As always find the materials needed to make this recipe in the HSC Store.
