Recipe: Perfect Sushi Rice

• To successfully make sushi, short grain or medium grain (Calrose) rice should be used. It has the right texture, taste and consistency to gently stick together.

• The use of a rice cooker is highly recommended as it produces perfect rice every time.

• Short grain is a lot starchier, therefore, the rice grains have to be rinsed in clear water for about 3-5 times until the water becomes clear before cooking it.

• Use equal amount of water to the rice you used, for example, if you used 1 cup of rice then add 1 cup of water.

• You’ll need 1 part sushi vinegar for every 4 parts rice.
Make sushi vinegar by mixing 3 parts rice vinegar, 2 parts sugar and 1/2 part salt in a saucepan.
Heat it on low heat until the sugar & salt dissolves.
