selama ni kamu semua tahu makan sushi je kan , tapi tahu tak macam mana nak wat nasi sushi tu? kalau tahu memang power lah ! hehee

Here is a recipe for making sushi rice. Japanese rice is short grain rice and gets sticky when it is cooked. Long grain rice isn't proper for sushi because it is drier and doesn't stick together.

Ingredients:

3 cups Japanese rice

3 1/4 cups water

1/3 cup rice vinegar

3 Tbsp sugar

1 tsp salt

Preparation:

After washing and soaking Japanese rice, cook and let it steam. See How to Cook Japanese Rice. Prepare sushi vinegar (sushi-zu) by mixing rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a sauce pan. Put the pan on low heat and heat until the sugar dissolves. Cool the vinegar mixture.  Spread the hot steamed rice into a large plate or a large bowl. Please use a non-metallic bowl to prevent any interaction with rice vinegar. It's best to use a wooden bowl called sushi-oke. Sprinkle the vinegar mixture over the rice and fold the rice by shamoji (rice spatula) quickly. Be careful not to smash the rice. To cool and remove the moisture of the rice well, use a fan as you mix sushi rice. This will give sushi rice a shiny look. It's best to use sushi rice right away.

Makes 4-6 servings.
