Sushi rice, also known as shari, is a type of short-grain rice that is used to make sushi. It is important to use the correct type of rice for sushi, as other types of rice will not have the same sticky texture. Sushi rice is typically cooked with sushi vinegar, which gives it a slightly sweet and tangy flavor. Once the rice is cooked, it is mixed with the vinegar and allowed to cool. The cooled rice is then used to make sushi rolls, nigiri sushi, and other sushi dishes.

Perfectly sticky Homemade Sushi Rice is easily made at home when you follow these simple techniques. This recipe can be made in an electric rice cooker, Instant Pot, or on the stovetop.

Provided by Mandy

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups sushi rice, rinsed thoroughly
3 cups water
1/2 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Measure the sushi rice into a fine mesh sieve and rinse under cold water for several minutes, tossing and stirring the rice until water runs clear. Do not skip this step as it is important for helping the rice to be sticky.
  • Combine the rinsed rice and the water in the pot of a rice cooker or Instant Pot pressure cooker. Seal lid and cook according to the cooker's rice settings. Let rest 10 minutes before opening lid. If using stovetop- Combine rinsed rice and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low, cooking for 20 minutes. Turn off heat and let rest 10 minutes.
  • While rice is cooking, prepare the vinegar. In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium-low heat until sugar and salt have dissolved, about 1 minute. Set aside.
  • Transfer the rested rice to a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle 2/3 of the vinegar mixture over the rice and gently turn rice until coated. Using a silicone spatula or a rice paddle works well for this. Once rice is coated thoroughly, taste and add more vinegar as desired. Spread rice out in the pan and let cool to room temperature before using to make sushi rolls.
  • Enjoy!

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.

SUSHI RICE



Sushi Rice image

Sushi rice is the heart of sushi and the vinegar should add a tartness to the rice and give a nod to the humble beginnings of sushi before it became what we know it as today. This is a simple, straightforward recipe for basic sushi vinegar and sushi rice. There are countless variations with differing amounts of salt and sugar and other additions which flavor the seasoned vinegar chefs call sushi-su. Different vinegars affect the flavor of the finished sushi and vinegar recipes vary by region. This one contains a multi-purpose version for sushi-su that can be used as a base for pickling brine or salad dressing as well.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield About 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup rice vinegar (4% acidity)
2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
Kosher salt
1 gram dashi kombu (about a 1-inch square), optional
1 3/4 cups uncooked white short-grain or medium-grain rice

Steps:

  • For the seasoned vinegar: Heat the vinegar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until just steaming (it will be about 100 degrees F). Do not boil the vinegar. Remove from the heat.
  • Add the sugar and 2 teaspoons salt and whisk until dissolved. Add the dashi kombu if using.
  • For the rice: Rinse the rice in a large bowl under cold running water until the water runs clear, about 5 minutes. While rinsing, gently agitate the rice with your hands to wash off extra starch. Drain the rice in a fine-mesh colander.
  • If using a rice cooker, set to the "white rice" or "sushi rice" setting; do not use the "quick cook" setting. Add the rinsed and drained rice and 1 1/3 cups of water to the cooker, gently move from side to side to evenly settle the rice and press start. If using the stove method: Add the rinsed and drained rice and 1 1/3 cups of water to a medium pot. Gently move the pot from side to side to evenly settle the rice. Put a piece of aluminum foil over the top of the pot before placing the lid on to create a tight seal. Bring to a boil over high heat (it is best to lower the heat just before it boils, when it begins to steam).
  • Lower the heat to low and steam the rice for 25 minutes; do not open the lid. Remove the rice from the heat and let sit covered for 10 minutes more.
  • Removed the dashi kombu from the seasoned vinegar if using. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and immediately sprinkle the vinegar mixture evenly over the hot rice (see Cook's Note). Using a rice paddle or spatula, gently cut the vinegar mixture into the rice and alternately fold the rice so vinegar doesn't pool on the bottom of the bowl. Make sure the vinegar is evenly distributed throughout the rice.
  • Spread the rice in a baking dish and let sit until it is cool enough to handle and sticks together in a ball, 5 to 10 minutes. Use the rice within 2 hours or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 day. You can use the rice at room temperature or gently reheat it using the "warm" function on a rice cooker.

Tips:

1. Use the Right Rice: Choose Japanese short-grain rice specifically designed for sushi, as it has a higher starch content that helps the rice grains stick together. 2. Rinse the Rice Thoroughly: Rinse the rice multiple times until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and impurities, resulting in fluffier and less sticky rice. 3. Cook the Rice Properly: Follow the recommended water-to-rice ratio and cooking instructions provided in your rice cooker or on the rice package. 4. Season with Sushi Vinegar: Prepare the sushi vinegar dressing using rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. The vinegar adds a distinctive flavor to the rice and helps preserve its freshness. 5. Cool the Rice: After cooking, spread the rice in a shallow heatproof dish and let it cool slightly while fanning it gently. This helps release excess moisture and prevents the rice from becoming too sticky. 6. Season the Rice: Once the rice is cool, mix in the prepared sushi vinegar dressing. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently fold the vinegar into the rice until it is evenly distributed. 7. Let the Rice Rest: Cover the seasoned rice and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before using. This allows the rice to absorb the flavors of the vinegar and achieve the desired consistency.

Conclusion:

Preparing sushi rice with sushi vinegar is a fundamental step in making delicious sushi dishes. By following the tips and instructions provided in this article, you can create perfectly seasoned and flavorful sushi rice that will elevate your sushi-making experience. Remember to select the right rice, rinse it thoroughly, cook it properly, and season it with a well-balanced sushi vinegar dressing. With patience and practice, you'll be able to master the art of making sushi rice at home and impress your friends and family with your culinary skills.
