How To Cook Sushi Rice & Prepare Sushi Rice Vinegar

[@ArnoNoxFordSteyn]

Terada is so subtle and heavy under rated like OMG he's a amazing chef but he is so modest and not a showoff LOVE LOVE LOVE

[@michaelsotomayor5001]

245 grams of rice vinegar 280 grams of sugar (people were right about sugar seeming more than vinegar) 28 grams of salt total 553 grams of solution which is about 20 ounces 16 ounces of dried rice makes about 48 ounces of cooked rice (1:3 conversion) so it's 4 ounces of vinegar for 40 ounces of cooked rice.. or 10% of rice weight. (also this is 20% of the original solution which is about 56 grams of sugar in 48 ounces of rice apart which means in your individual roll you eat about 6 grams of sugar)

[@kllerblunt]

Okay 250cc Vinegar = 1 cup. 10oz Sugar = 1 1/4 sugar. 1oz Salt = 2 Tbsp salt. Thank you

[@Jessedog11]

+Modus Pwnens cups, 1 cup equals 8 OZ.

[@5illyMe]

But in the video it looks like there is more vinegar than sugar (by volume), so it's still extremely confusing.

[@yannistan639]

Can anybody convert those numbers to plain grams?..

[@CataclysmicPranks]

thank you

[@KishorTwist]

Use the Internet to convert to grams.

[@megrimlockisking]

Both Chef Hiro and the cameraman are highly knowledgeable in a sense that the cameraman asked questions that many viewers might have as well as well as giving us additional information when Chef Hiro is concentrating on the cooking.Great interaction,very informative! Would it be too much to ask to give us a full tour of your rest and kitchen? :D

[@circle4922]

I agree. Asking the right questions. And also showing what *not* to do, while explaining what to do. Great job.

Thanks Hiro for all your help with are attempt to make our own Sushi. After 24 years, my good friend and Sushi chief went back to Japan to be with his aging family. Soon here we are, looking at one of the best Chief in my Miami and that there is. Thanks Hiro and your camera man, for all you great food, that we will try again to follow your lead.

[@justinlloyd2446]

Thank you so much for making this video. It makes the prepping of sushi rice simple and clear. I am attempting to make sushi for the first time tonight and this is the most helpful video I have seen on the subject. Keep it up! Great job sir.

[@RavishingSailor]

Damn I randomly came across this channel when looking for sushi reviews. I absolutely love you channel an Chef Hiro! I have done a marathon on your videos. Total great content. Much love to you both

[@shiny_greninjax1131]

Just in case you don't use cups: 250 cc Vinegar = 250 mL 10 oz Sugar = 283.5 g 1 oz Salt = 28.35 g Have fun making sushi!

[@oshintaoo]

Omfg that recipe is so wrong….>_< you can’t mix those amounts of sugar and salt

[@wills8288]

@@oshintaoo Exactly right. That is more than double the sugar for any normal sushi rice recipe. The common ratios in Japan are 4:2:1 (Vinegar: Sugar: Salt) by volume.

[@lucytran1555]

I think the sugar is bit too much ( more than half is enough) and little salty reduce sugar & salt

[@kelvinready3693]

My family loves this recipe. I am a beginner, but it tastes restaurant quality when I follow these steps. Lost this video and tried once on my own, I found out that the little things definitely matter 😂.

Hands down #1 chef ever. For decade at least. And can cook anything from pork to lionfish to frog. Hiro a genius. I wish I knew him 25 year ago when I lived in Marshall Islands as he loves fishing.

[@xForko]

This was very informative. I have had no idea that I was using the wrong kind of rice the whole time. I've been using whole grain, but the rice comes out slimy and has slime covering the pot but the rice was still crunchy too. Thank you for showing me the right way to do it!!

[@Elric509]

The slime comes from the powder on the rice (the starch), you probably haven't washed it thoroughly. On a lighter note, don't wash it if you're making rice pudding, the sucker will never set...

[@juzt_fj]

[@KathleenHoover76]

I'm a bit confused. 250cc is 1 1/4 cups and 10oz is 1 1/4 cups, right? I never thought the vinegar and sugar were equal parts in the seasoned rice vinegar. Am I understanding this correctly?

[@xXMkThunderXx]

How I wish that everyone watched this video!!! I live in Mexico and there are a lot of "sushi" restaurants which don't season their rice at all, it's such a shame, since it really makes sushi stand out. My family is of Japanese heritage and I remember that my grandmother used to say that you should mix the sushi vinegar while hot and fan the rice (with a paper fan) while mixing it to make it really shiny and beautiful... is that true???

[@segundinadouthwaite690]

I had to watch a lot of videos to get to this one to understand the measurements. I have 8 conversion pages up to try and figure out how many cups, tablespoons or ounces to use to make sushi rice. This one is easy. Thank you.

[@nhojcam]

The recipe from above in the description is: 250cc Rice Vinegar 10oz Sugar (by volume) 1 oz Salt (by volume) 3"x2" Seaweed sheet. I noticed that both sugar and salt are "by volume". How does this differ from "by weight" or is it the same?

[@shinsoku9128]

It is not the same. You can calculate it using the density of the sugar and the salt.

[@DeeJayCreeper]

Thank you! I have been always fascinated about sushi and its history. Iv wanted to learn to do this for so long, now once i get back from overseas i will be starting, we just got a fresh fish store in my town! Keep up the amazing creations, i hope to come down to Miami one day to visit!

Hello Hiroyuki-san I would like to ask you where can we find nori and if it is not for a sushi bar how can we store it so it will not be "destroyed" and you are my inspiration

[@evank1802]

How do you store the rice after cooking and how long does it stay there/usable? It looks like you have a large plastic bin to store it in when making it in bulk. Thanks! I appreciate and enjoy your videos they are extremely helpful!

[@atlenta1]

Thank you so much for sharing your technique. I have seen some videos say that after you rinse the rice and then add the water you should let it rest for 30 minutes before cooking it. What is your take on this?

[@op3l]

This is probably the most important step. Thanks for video~

[@lavenie2009]

Hi I'm a huge fan from germany. So my question is, if you can show us a method without using a ricecooker. I haven't a ricecooker at home and normally I use a pot but than it gets a little bit too sticky.

[@ElJ2691]

Totally inspired me to start making my own. Thank you guys so much. You guys are awesome

[@LordZanba]

Hello, everyone at NoVe. I am a long-time viewer but a first time poster. You mentioned how short grain rice is not always easy to find. If you could find it, would Chef Hiroyuki use it instead in his recipe, or would the recipe need some adjusting for short grain rice?

[@tiagovirago]

I accidentally purchased too much rice vinegar and now I am happy 😃. Now, I can make sushi vinegar!

[@nikitaonassis6090]

Rice is delicate, not to break rice, when doing shari kiri, what is the key thing to notice ? When cutting with speed, how to cut or what to feel so rice not be broken ? Should spatula brush top of rice with bottom of spatula rather than side edge of spatula cutting into rice ? Thanks !

[@zfilmmaker]

The “cloudy” water when washing rice is the starch being removed which makes rice softer and more plump.

[@flaviof9282]

[@some5672]

can you do a video on making sushi with brown rice? I know it sounds silly but my family doesn't eat white rice !

[@danr.5017]

I'd just cook the rice as you would for a pilaf. The problem is that with the hull on it won't be as sticky so I'd always go nori on the outside to hold it together. You'd have to use a more moist filling, to keep the rolls from being dry hence Katsu rolls would be a poor choice for brown rice. Other than that it's essentially the same.

[@bugil07]

I made some sushi rice at home but the rice wont stick enough to nori. I follow all the instruction on this video but the result is not the same. I love all your videos btw, they are all really help.

Hi there! I recently stumbled upon this channel and I am loving it! I have a quick question though - how long will the sushi vinegar keep in the fridge, and do I leave the kelp in or take it out after a while? Thank you!!

[@TheSpitsFan]

Hey Hiro, what is your process with the seaweed? Do you usually we it when making rolls or do you leave it dry? I have been told to wet it by gently spreading water over it, but I would greatly appreciate your advice!

[@RNG-999]

Thank you, Camera Man and Hiro. I've never asked this to be done myself, but it was always on my mind how Hiro did it.

[@MrPerry37]

I am a new fan and I found this video super helpful after the california roll video. Gonna try this out and see if I can conveniently have home made sushi more often! Thanks Hiro! p.s. is there a simpler alternative to the dried kelp that you could use? I imagine you'd have to buy the kelp in large bags like in the video and for someone like me who won't be making sushi rice everyday it might be a bit much.

[@jayyreyes6107]

Is there anything you’d do differently in the process if you do not have a rice cooker ? Currently trying to make sushi rice with some kinpira gobo 🔥

[@DylanWarren1]

Would you prepare rice in the same method for Onigiri/rice balls, Vinegar and all, or just cook it normally.

[@jonathandoreck7467]

So I used to have Zojirushi NS-LAC05XT with fuzzy logic. Unfortunately, it died but I absolutely loved the thing. Is it really necessary to invest in that brand, or is a less expensive model just as good. It did play a little song in the beginning and end of cooking. What does the master use?

[@xTehAeRo]

Finally a real basics video :D

[@melb.3525]

Great video Chef Hiro! If I was to cook my rice on the stovetop, would it still be 1 cup of rice to 1 cup of water? I'm used to using double the water but is it less because of the rice cooker I wonder? Thanks for sharing, it was exactly the video I was searching for!! 🙏😇

[@wwoods66]

In cooking, 1 cup of rice will absorb about 1 cup of water. On the stove top, you need more water than that, because some will evaporate during cooking. But probably not a whole cup. Maybe 1/2 cup extra?

Is storing any leftover prepared rice in a glass dish with a lid in the fridge ok or leave it at room temperature? I'm making it for one person, just myself and would enjoy having sushi rolls during the week, for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snak. I couldn't eat 8 oz prepared rice in a day let alone 16 oz. You said 2 oz per roll. That's 4 rolls if I made 8 oz rice. If I make the rolls how well do they store and how would you recommend storing them?

[@ningunoag]

Thanks for the nice video! My Question: How long can you store the sushi-vinegar in the refrigrator?

[@leithagrover9116]

ningunoag good question because we only use 4 oz of it lol

[@umami6462]

you shouldn't refrigerate rice vinegar, it will lose its taste. store in a non-humid place, away from the sun. another recipe said that you could keep it for 1 year, but idk

[@sarahgraves6759]

It's heavily vinegar based, the low pH level will keep growth from happening, but the vinegar can darken and change flavor over time. So it won't become dangerous to consume but it won't taste as fresh.

[@MrTootallhall23]

Okay, I have the exact rice cooker. I was told to put the same amount of water to the "fill line" as the cups of rice. So, if you have 3 cups of rice, then you do the rinse and then after rinsing you fill to the "3" line in the rice cooker container. Is that not correct?

[@wileyben7436]

Hello I just found your channel and love it. I love sushi but the only place I can get it near my house isn't the best. So I always want to make good sushi at home. I love to cook.
