How to prepare rice for making sushi

Step 1/ 4

• 300 g sushi rice

• bowl (large)
• sieve

Add sushi rice and some water to a bowl. Mix vigorously with your hands for approx. 10 sec. Add more water to the bowl, then drain. Repeat the process several times until the water runs through clear.

Step 2/ 4

• 400 ml water

• pot

Transfer rinsed rice to a pot. Add water, cover the pot, and let the rice soak for approx. 15 min.

Step 3/ 4

Put a lid on the pot and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. As soon as it starts steaming, reduce the heat to low and cook the rice, covered, for approx. 8 min. Don’t remove the lid until the rice is done cooking. Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for approx. 20 min.

Step 4/ 4

• 40 ml rice vinegar
• ½ tsp salt
• ¾ tbsp sugar

• bowl (small)
• cooking spoon

In the meantime, mix rice vinegar, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Transfer the rice to a large bowl and drizzle with sushi vinegar. Mix carefully so that you don’t crush the rice. Let the sushi rice cool before handling. Enjoy!
