Sticky Rice for Sushi
(makes enough for 10 rolls)
|
2
|
cups (300 g) sushi (short-grain jasmine) rice
|
|
1
|
teaspoon (5 ml) salt (optional)
|
|
1/3
|
cup (80 ml) rice wine vinegar
|
- Wash the rice in a colander until the water is clear, about 3-5 minutes.
- Place in a covered pan and add the water. Cover and bring to a boil over high
- Reduce heat to medium and boil for 5 minutes, then reduce to low and continue boiling for
15 minutes. DO NOT remove the lid while cooking. Remove from heat and cool while combining
the salt and vinegar.
- Slowly cut the vinegar into the rice, coating all of the rice. Allow the rice to cool
until it is cool enough to touch.
- First tip of the day: Sticky rice is called that for good reason. When working with this
rice keep a bowl of ice water near by to dip your fingers and sushi rice molds in. This will
make the process of making sushi go more smoothly and quickly.
