Nice Video th-X but what rice is used for side dishes in Japanese restaurants. i saw some brownish rice ...the rice isnt relay bond together but a little .you can easy see every kernel. I just bought 600g of Koshihikari Rice to accomplish the texture.

[@TheSushiMan]

Hi Trex, can't say for sure about the rice but if it's slightly brown it could be a type of haiga-mai, which is sort of a hybrid between brown rice and white rice. I really like it because it has a similar texture as white rice but has the health benefits of brown rice, best of both worlds basically. And good choice on the rice, Koshihikari is one of my favorites!

[@trex70]

@@TheSushiMan thank you

[@wtfan8610]

Do you have any tips for making brown sushi rice?

[@TheSushiMan]

Honestly, I don't work with brown rice much but the method should be the same. Just let it soak for a little longer before cooking and also the actual cooking time will probably take a bit longer too. After that the sushi vinegar and everything should be the same. Sorry if that wasn't much help.

Hello Q? Why You leaving the rice with water for 20-30 minutes befor cooking it. Isint it absorbs to much water befor cooking?

[@TheSushiMan]

Hi MrLeszczu, soaking the rice before cooking is not required but it will result in a more even and fluffier texture. The rice tends to not absorb enough water if you skip the soaking and can result in a harder texture. Hope that helps!

Hey Jun love this easy to follow tutorial with all the useful tips! I have an issue with my sushi rice - when cooked it's perfectly sticky but when I add my sushi-zu it seems to become very loose despite mixing it in properly and using correct measurements which makes my rolls fall apart. Do you know why this happens? Am I over washing my rice before cooking?

[@TheSushiMan]

Glad you enjoyed the video! There could be a few reasons why your sushi rice is falling apart but hard to determine without actually watching you make it. But first, what type of rice are you using? And have you tried adjusting the water level when cooking, does that help at all? I don't think you're over washing the rice as long as you're washing till the water is mostly clear. But make sure you're not breaking the rice while you're doing it. Also, what type of sushi vinegar are you using (my recipe or store bought)? And one last thing is to let the rice cool after you've mixed in the sushi vinegar. Hope those things can help and let me know how it's going.

[@fn1202]

@@TheSushiMan Thank you! So I'm making sure to use sushi rice, it may not be the best of the best but is decent and I've tried a couple different brands, I've tried using less water and the rice is perfect before I add sushi-zu but after its always too loose and falling apart. I've tried your vinegar recipe and also a store bought, premade rice vinegar and I always add the amount you specify for the amount of rice. I let the rice cool to room temp too and use the method of 'fanning' the vinegar over the rice and then gently tossing it through the rice. It's strange! I'll try again and follow your video exactly and hopefully get better results

[@monika1_2bat70]

hi! You sad "One rice cooker cup is 180 ml", but in the movie, you have a measuring cup of 160 ml so 160*3 =480 ml, not 540 ml. Which portion is suitable? Your Sushi Vinegar is suitable for 480 ml or 540 ml rice?

[@TheSushiMan]

Hi Monika, the rice cooker cup is 180ml. The measuring cup in the video looks like it's 160 ml because that's the last measurement labeled, but if you look closely there's some space from the 160ml line to the very top of the cup (the remaining 20ml). So the sushi vinegar is meant for 540ml of uncooked rice. Hope that helps!

[@monika1_2bat70]

@@TheSushiMan yes indeed. Thank you!

[@vitalina2984]

Maybe I missed it but how long is the rice good for? Like how many hrs before can you prep the rice? Thank you!

[@TheSushiMan]

Hi Vitalina, you can make the sushi rice in advance, just make sure to cover the rice with a damp towel so that it doesn't dry up. But you might start to notice the rice hardening after an hour or so (after it's been cooled) so best is using it within that hour. Hope that helps!

[@ctbram0627]

microwave 15 minutes at 50% let stand covered for 15 min makes perfect rice

[@orroz1]

Hi. What is the ratio of sushi vinegar to uncooked rice? I see you use approximately 16 ml for 100 ml rice, but I have seen other videos where the ratio is 1/3. Should I vary it according to what type of sushi I am making. I keep trying and trying, but I can never get it to taste even close to how it tastes in a restaurant.

[@TheSushiMan]

Hi Orroz1, it depends on what type of sushi vinegar you're using. If you're following my sushi vinegar recipe in the video then yes, it should be around that 1/6 ratio (in ml). Store bought sushi vinegar may be different and you should follow the recommendation on the label. If it doesn't tell you anything then a general rule of thumb is to add the same amount of sushi vinegar (in fluid ounces) as uncooked rice (in rice cooker cups). So for example: 4 rice cooker cups (720 ml) = 4 fluid ounces (about 120 ml) of sushi vinegar. Hope that helps!

[@dawidkaszowicz3797]

Hi! Love the video. Can I use this recipe also for doing the Onigiris, just skipping the part with the vinegar and using only water and salt?

Yes, if you skip the vinegar then you just get plain white steamed rice which is what you want to use for onigiris. I have a video on that as well in case you didn't see it kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnuUo2R7npJ3fJo. Hope that helps!

[@TheSushiMan]

Thank you Chick Hippie! As for the sushi vinegar, yes you do have to mix that into the rice in order for it to technically be sushi, consistency will be better as well. But hey, try both ways and see what you like! And you can always buy sushi vinegar that's already bottled if you want to skip the step of making it. Hope that helps!

Que rico el sushi❤

[@alessiobaretta9803]

I use the cooking rise for the rise, did u know how much water i need to use for 500 g of rise?

[@TheSushiMan]

Hi Alessio, the amount of water you use to cook the rice is very simple. If you're using 500g of rice then just use the same amount of water. I believe 1 gram = 1 ml so you can use 500 ml of water. Hope that helps!

[@edwilderness]

Would it work to mix pre-seasoned rice vinegar and unseasoned rice vinegar together for sushi rice? (I accidentally ended up with a lot of seasoned rice vinegar as a gift.) Half and half?

[@TheSushiMan]

You can use the pre-seasoned rice vinegar as is without adding the sugar and salt. It will taste different than my recipe though. If you want to mix the two vinegars, then bring down the amount of sugar and salt since the seasoned one already comes sweetened. Hope that helps!

[@antosbielli158]

hi great vid how long can i keep the rice in the fridge if i don’t use it all on the first day ? thanks

[@TheSushiMan]

Hi Anto, the quality will drop but you can use the rice for a couple of days as long as it's properly refrigerated. You can heat it up just a bit in the microwave to soften it up. Hope that helps!

[@ra1der5]

3/4 U.S. cup = one “rice cooker cup”. We lost the rice cooker cup and had a hard time figuring out how much rice to use. As he mentioned 3:21; the standard rice cooker cup is 180ml. A standard U.S. cup is 240ml. 180/240 = .75 or 3/4 cup. Question; Could we add the sushi rice seasoning to the water before the rice cooks? That way each grain is seasoned and all we would have to do is fluff; right?

[@TheSushiMan]

That's a good question, I've never tried it myself nor have I heard any sushi chef cook it that way. I'm thinking the heat would alter the flavor and probably the texture as well. But never know until you try, let me know if you give it a shot.

[@yesseniasierra-jf8bp]

I have a question the vinager the you put on the rice on the end is the one the you put on the oven with Sal and the white sugar ?

[@TheSushiMan]

Hi Yessenia, no the vinegar that you mix with the salt and sugar over the stove is plain rice vinegar (not seasoned). The one you mix in with the rice at the end is the combination of the plain rice vinegar + salt + sugar. Hope that helps!

[@Mckayjo]

Can I make this rice in the morning to make sushi at night? Or is it best to use right away?

[@TheSushiMan]

Hi Mckayjo, I would recommend making it closer to when you'll be making the sushi. In commercial use we have these large sushi rice bins that help keep it at the right temperature for a longer period but it's a bit overkill for home use. If you can only make it in the morning, just make sure to put it in a container with a lid so that it doesn't dry out. Hope that helps!

[@Mckayjo]

It does! Thank you!

I didn't see your comment and i bought one already 😊 Now its testing time...i though it will be really easy and simple. But for now i cooked 5 times and im still not sure is it already good rice. How to know when is good? Mine is too dry. If i put 1 cup of rice and 1 water 8ts horrible. If i use 1.5 water is better but still dry. And stick little bit to the bottom. So i will try 1 rice and 2water now. But why every video i see say 1 to 1 ratio.but for me its no chance. I try long grain.

Is the water being added to the rice warm or cold?

[@TheSushiMan]

Good question! I use cold to room temp water usually, unless I'm in need of rice fast then I use hotter water. And since you're letting the rice soak for 20-30 minutes it gets closer to room temp regardless. But you can really use whichever, it'll just change the time it takes for the water to boil. Hope that helps!

Hi Regan, cooking it with a rice cooker is pretty much the same, just easier. Follow the same steps but instead of using the pot, use the container that came with the cooker. And then set it to start and just wait till its done. And be sure to not open the lid for 10 minutes after it's done cooking. Every rice cooker is different so I recommend reading the instructions just in case. Hope that helps!

if i cook 2 kg of rice same time how much water and how many minutes to cook it? please? i follow this steps but for 2 kg of rice and the rice is uncooked

[@TheSushiMan]

Hi craiovabelgia, going by weight is tricky when measuring the rice. Rather than that I recommend using a measuring cup (or any other vessel) and measure out the rice. So for example if the 2kg of uncooked rice is 10 cups then you want to cook the rice with the same 10 cups of water. And also make sure you're using a pot large enough. For the time, I would add a few more minutes to the cooking part but keep a close eye on it to make sure it doesn't burn. Hope that helps!

Yes, for the most part, but if you have a rice cooker, it should have the measurement lines inside the pot. I recommend following those for best results.

[@ra1der5]

@@TheSushiManNotice the measurement lines on the rice cooker are evenly spaced. So regardless how much rice is used, the amount of water above the rice level is always the same. If you ever lose track or don’t have a measuring utensil, another method is to put your finger straight up on the rice in the rice cooker and add water just to the first knuckle on your index finger. 😊

Can you skip the sugar when making the sushi rice?

[@TheSushiMan]

Hi Anellapadilla, you can't really skip the sugar since the vinegar will be way too sour without it. You can adjust the amount to your liking though.

[@BistraFX]

is there alternative of the rice vinegar? its rare in my country

[@TheSushiMan]

Hi Bistra, I haven't tried it personally but I've heard apple cider vinegar can work as an alternative. Let me know how it goes if you give it a try!

Can I use Thai short grain .. its about $10 / lb cheaper than Japanese Short grain Rice

[@TheSushiMan]

Hi Francis, I've never used Thai short grain rice so I'm not positive but I think it will have a different texture than Japanese short grain or medium grain rice. It seems to be sticker and closer to the rice that we use for making Japanese mochi, which would be too sticky for sushi. You can check out my different rice recommendations at UltimateSushiKit.com. Hope that helps!

The video design is great. Thank you. I had although to stop the video as the background music was very disturbing for me. Impossible to concentrate.

Thanks for the feedback Lilou!

If I don't have any rice vinegar what can I use for a substitute?

[@TheSushiMan]

Hi Heaven-leigh, I've never tried it personally but I would give either white vinegar or apple cider vinegar a try for a substitute. Let me know how it goes!

[@heaven-leighbrathwaite6625]

@@TheSushiMan thank you so much, I tried it with white vinegar and it came out really well

Maaaan the music destroys the whole video. It's like hanging in a line of a support call and waiting for the customer service to pick up the phone 😵

Is the recip written down somewhere?

if I do 2 U.S. cup size of rice, how much vinegar,sugar,salt do I use? Thanks :)

[@TheSushiMan]

Hi Bond, with 2 U.S. cups of rice you'll have some funky measurements. But if I did my math correctly it'll equate to 5.33 Tbsp of vinegar, 2.66 Tbsp of sugar, and 0.66 Tbsp of salt. If you plan to make more sushi in the near future I recommend just making a big batch of the sushi vinegar, you can keep it in the fridge for a few months. Hope that helps!
