Time 25m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups uncooked glutinous white rice (sushi rice)
3 cups water
½ cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
¼ cup white sugar
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 Made in Bamboo Steamer image

Foolproof way to cook short grain rice; no more burnt pans to clean up! The only special equipment needed is a bamboo steamer and two dish cloths. I've found that soaking the rice for 8+ hours works best.

Categories     Short Grain Rice

Time 35m

Yield 4 Cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups rice (use only short grain)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons mirin
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Measure out the amount of rice desired into a mesh colander.
  • Rinse the rice grains three times with cold water.
  • Pour the rice into a bowl and cover it with cold water.
  • Cover the bowl and allow the rice to soak for two to eight hours. (The longer the rice soaks, the shorter the steaming time.).
  • Take the lid and upper baskets off of the bamboo steamer.
  • Line the bottom basket with a clean damp cloth (a dish cloth fits perfectly).
  • Drain the rice and pour the grains into the basket on top of the dish cloth. Place another damp dish cloth on top of the grains, folding the corners towards the center.
  • Replace the lid on the basket.
  • Fill a wok about halfway with water and bring the water to a boil.
  • Place the bamboo steamer on the wok; the steamer should not be immersed in the water.
  • Steam the rice for about 30 minutes; checking every 10 minutes during the cooking process to ensure that water has not evaporated and that the cloth has not dried out. ( I usually just pour a 1/4 cup of water over the cloth every 10 minutes);.
  • Check the rice for doneness after 15 minutes. adding more time if needed, being careful not to overcook.
  • Remove rice to a large bowl.
  • Slowly heat vinegar, mirin and sugar until very hot but not boiling.
  • Fold vinegar mixture into the hot rice, add enough so that the rice has a tart/sweet taste.
  • Rice should be shiny, not mushy.
  • Carefully clean inside rim of bowl with damp cloth, cover and let rest for 30 minutes before using.

The perfect way to scratch your sushi itch if you're trying to limit your carbohydrate intake.

Provided by Tracy Quigley

Categories     Sushi

Time 2h

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound cauliflower, cut into florets
5 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
3 teaspoons monkfruit sugar substitute
6 ounces sushi-grade ahi tuna, cubed
1 dash Sriracha hot sauce, or more to taste
3 sheets nori (dry seaweed)
1 medium avocado - peeled, pitted, and sliced
2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Pulse cauliflower florets in a food processor until riced.
  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower rice, cover, and steam, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer cauliflower rice to a bowl and stir in cream cheese, rice vinegar, and sweetener. Place in the refrigerator to chill until cold, about 1 hour.
  • Mix the chopped tuna with Sriracha in a separate bowl to desired spiciness.
  • Spread 1/3 of the cauliflower mixture on a plastic wrap-covered bamboo rolling mat until you have a square roughly the size of a nori sheet.
  • Place one sheet of nori on top of the cauliflower rice square. Place 1/3 of the avocado slices and 1/3 of the tuna mixture along one edge on top of the nori. Carefully roll, starting from the edge with the fillings. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the sesame seeds and cut the roll into 6 slices with a sharp knife. Repeat with remaining cauliflower rice, nori, avocado slices, tuna mixture, and sesame seeds.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality sushi rice: A good sushi rice will have a short, round grain and a high starch content, which will help it to absorb water and become sticky.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly: Rinsing the rice removes the starch coating, which will help it to cook evenly and prevent it from becoming sticky.
  • Use the correct amount of water: The amount of water you use will depend on the type of rice you are using and the method you are cooking it with. For sushi rice, the general rule is to use 1 cup of water for every 1 cup of rice.
  • Cook the rice until it is tender: The rice is cooked when it is tender and has absorbed all of the water. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
  • Let the rice cool slightly before using: This will help the rice to hold its shape when it is rolled or formed into sushi.

Conclusion:

Making sushi rice in a bamboo steamer is a great way to achieve the perfect texture and flavor. By following the tips above, you can make delicious sushi rice at home that is sure to impress your friends and family.
