If you're a sushi lover, you know that the perfect sushi is all about the rice. But what makes the rice so special? It's all in the seasoning. In this recipe, we'll teach you how to prepare the perfect sushi rice that will leave your taste buds wanting more!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of sushi rice
- 2 cups of water
- 1/4 cup of rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of salt
Start by rinsing the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. This removes any excess starch and ensures that the rice cooks evenly.
Next, add the rice and water to a pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the rice simmer for 18 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Heat the mixture over low heat until the sugar and salt have dissolved.
Once the rice has finished cooking, transfer it to a large bowl and pour the vinegar mixture over it. Use a wooden spoon to gently fold the mixture into the rice, being careful not to overmix.
And there you have it! Perfectly seasoned sushi rice that's ready to be used in your favorite sushi rolls.
