Sushi Rice – How to Cook It, sushi is an ancient and traditional dish of Japanese cuisine.
The first step in making sushi is preparing the rice, which is a starchy rice with a short grain, called kome rice.
Sushi rice is easily found in ethnic and specialty stores, but also in more well-stocked supermarkets. It has small, round grains and, when cooked following the instructions, remains well compact.
Once cooked, the rice should be seasoned with sushizu, a condiment made of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, which gives the rice flavor and makes it just the right amount of “sticky.”
Once the rice and sushizu are ready, we simply need to pour the rice into a large wooden bowl that’s been moistened or (as I did) onto a wooden cutting board.
Now we just need to sprinkle the rice with the vinegar seasoning and mix it with a spatula, trying not to crush it and also cooling it as quickly as possible, using a piece of cardboard.
When the rice is well cooled, cover it with a damp cloth until it’s time to use it.
