How To Cook Sushi Rice With Just A Pot

[@carstenboegercb]

After cooking sushi rice many times without a rice cooker, I have found my foolproof way of getting the rice to come out perfectly.. Start with a heavy bottom 6 to 8 qt saucepan, with a tight fitting lid. Then take 2 cups of rice and rinse gingerly until the water runs clear. (This is to wash off extra starch from the rice, making the taste more potent and stickiness correct) Put the well drained, 2 cups of rice in the saucepan with exactly 2 and 1/2 cup of water. Put the heat to high and wait for the water to boil. Then cover the pan and reduce to simmer for exactly 15 minutes. After 15, turn the heat off and set the pan on a heat safe counter top. (Do not remove the lid!) Let it sit for an additional 15 minutes. For the seasoning: 2 T rice wine vinegar. 1 t salt. 2 T sugar. I personally like to use a touch of mirin with my sushi rice. Turn out your perfectly cooked rice into a large bowl pour in the seasoning. (Use a flat spatula and pour over the back, to distribute the seasoning more evenly) Gently, using a slicing motion like Hiro did, mix in the seasoning. THEN JUST WALK AWAY Overworking the rice will cause the grains to brake and make your rice a sticky clump of mush. Lastly you need to let it cool. And people. Please for the love of god don't put your fresh sushi rice in the fridge or freezer to cool down. Make your rice ahead of time and let it cool properly. If you have done that before you would know it dries out and becomes crusty And that's not good eats. Hopefully I tought someone a few things. Hiros video was great, but a little confusing to follow. I know that wasn't 4 c of water for example. Try my method! Let me know if you get the same result as I do! Thanks and have a good afternoon.

Thanks , I was looking for measurements. The video is great as always though guys

[@nicolep2424]

Nice. Very nice. If you plan to try rice for crispy rice sushi, would you still be against refrigerator cooling?

[@Akicup]

Lol Thank youu!

[@kmcmichael]

I tried your recipe. That is too much vinegar.

[@roulaabudan5923]

Indeed! I've tried 1:1 ratio of rice and water, it turned out too dry and not all the rice were completely cooked, so I agree with your rice and water ratio, but i think the vinegar is a bit too much, 1/4 cup would be good :)

[@hanskoenders2265]

Take a pan with a thick bottom and a tight-fitting lid. Measure the rice with a size that fits you, such as a mug or a glass. Use the same measure for adding water. The ratio that always gives the right sushi for me is one mug of rice, one and a half mugs of water. Wash the sushi rice well until the water runs clear and remember how many mugs of rice you use, so you know the amount of water. Put the pan with the rice without a lid on a high heat until the rice starts to boil! Place now the lid on the pan and cook over high heat for 5 minutes. DO NOT lift the lid! After cooking for 5 minutes on BIG heat, the rice is now cooked on SMALL heat for 10 minutes. DO NOT lift the lid! After cooking for a total of 15 minutes, turn the heat OFF. DO NOT lift the lid! Place some towels over the pan and leave the rice under this cover for 15-20 minutes after steaming. Transfer to a large roomy bowl to add the vinegar mixture. Only use rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar and salt and sugar for the mixture. Opinions are divided about the proportions, but that is also a matter of taste. A top sushi chef revealed his secret mixture: 8 tablespoons (rice vinegar) 4 tablespoons (sugar) 1 tablespoon (salt) for 500 grams of rice. Now a difference of taste can come to the mixture, because what kind of vinegar do you use, and what kind of sugar, and do you use sea, kelp, table salt? So indulge yourself! However, the rice always succeeds. SuShiYou!

[@failingcargo]

are you sure 1 tablespoon of salt is correct?

[@dariushlolaiy7142]

Is that 500g raw rice or cooked?

[@samboswell3798]

@@failingcargo I just made this exact recipe with 250g of sushi rice and half of the secret mixture. My roommate and I agree that it was fantastic sushi rice, very similar to what I've had (if not better) in my favorite sushi restaurants.

[@samboswell3798]

@@dariushlolaiy7142 I believe it's for dry raw rice. it made the rice watery at first but you just keep mixing it in.. It was perfectly seasoned.

[@cyclesdraw5341]

I always cook sushi rice out of a pot, its easy, you bring the water to a boil, then add the rice, cap it with a lid and turn it down to low for 20min, comes out perfect everytime

[@cyclesdraw5341]

I hear ya, i used to find it confusing too, since there is more then 1 way to make it, , rice makers and other gimmicks are for ppl who can't cook rice, but im telling you in any pot, boil water, add rice, cap with lid, reduce to low, 20min on the dot Tips: Don't add rice, UNTIL water boils No need to stir or open lid, once you add the rice

[@veronica1070]

How do you keep the lid on? For me it always spills :( I don't know how to avoid that.

[@benvella1728]

Used to do it this way and now that I've changed my game up sushi rice is coming out better than some restaurants. It's a lot more involved but well worth it

I used to have a rice cooker, but it only had one setting, so it would only cook regular long-grain rice, not jasmine rice or short-grain rice or any other kind. I switched back to cooking my rice in a pot on the stove. Happy New Year to both of you, and I'm looking forward to seeing what kinds of adventures you have in 2018!

[@purplealice]

Thanks!

[@samg461a]

I make mine a little differently. I use the same ratio (unless I don’t want vinegar, then it’s 1 part rice : 1 1/4 parts water) and I wash it thoroughly but I cook it differently. I bring it to a rolling boil on medium-high heat and then turn the heat down to low and cover it with a tight lid for 25 minutes. Then it’s done and it’s perfect :).

Whenever I try 1 part rice to 1 part water the rice on the top gets undercooked because the water level drops below the top layer of rice. Am I suppose to stir the rice as it simmers?

i covered the pot after boiling while simmering and I used a bit more rice and the 1:1 worked perfectly! Thanks
