How to Make Sushi Rice | Yutaka

[@hiphopguru81]

This is by far the BEST demonstration of how to prepare a small amount of sushi rice. I've watched over 20 videos and they are always convoluted, confusing, contradicting, and just plain horse caka. This is the BEST video on KZbin to make Sushi Rice. Straight to the point. 10/10. Bravo! !!!

[@Yasmin-hi6qx]

If i don’t have rice vinegar. which is best out of balsamic, white wine or apple cider

[@YutakaRecipes]

hm.... I might just go without vinegar completely and you can dip into soy sauce, wasabi when serving.

[@kubraozlu2171]

did you boil the vinegar with sugar and salt?

[@artscrafts4685]

kübra özlü I have not tried that yet sorry, but I would recommend that though because my sushi tasted quite plain (probably because I didn’t mix that with it)

[@scubbaluban]

Thank you, this is great help, by the way should we use regular sugar or granulated sugar? thanks

[@annedurendez9610]

Whats the sushi vinegar bottle doing at the side?

[@meadowstar9903]

Approximately how long should you cook the rice for once it starts to simmer because people say until all the water is gone, but if you are not supposed to take the lid off, then how are you supposed to know??

[@YutakaRecipes]

hi hi, as a general rule of thumb: soak 15-30 minutes; then simmer 10 minutes on low heat once simmered; rest 10 minutes with lid on.

[@markylon]

@@YutakaRecipes Why did you NOT say this in your video? WHAT A WASTE OF TIME YOUR SHIT VIDEO WAS.

[@bensully94]

Eveytime I get a layer of rice stuck to the bottom of the pan. How do you avoid this

[@YutakaRecipes]

It is tricky isn't it! Assuming the water amount is correct, I think most importantly make sure you use low heat to simmer to avoid overheating the rice. And also use a heavy based pot to avoid heating the pot too quickly.

[@veiroyt3246]

[@sunflower7449]

I love your bowls and pot! Where are they from? :)

[@e.b.4379]

Can you leave out the sugar or reduce the amount? Thanks

[@markylon]

I never use sugar or salt, salt comes from the Soy Sauce you dip your sushi in. Sugar is because Amercians are addicted. I make mine with just the vinegar and everyone says it's amazing

[@charmainelilly7708]

Fantastic video can we use any rice x

[@YutakaRecipes]

Hi hi, glad you find it useful. We do recommend you to use Japanese short grain rice for sushi making as Japanese rice is sticky and good for sushi to shape.

[@sudhirsingh-sx8lo]

very informative.seen so many videos and lost interest.yours is the only one with proper measurements.thank you

[@hiphopguru81]

The only question I have is. 1.) Why is 'Mirin' not included in the Sushi Vinegar mixture? Can it be added? If so, how much? Thank you for a great demonstration.

[@Ayokoyamauk]

Hi hiphopguru81, thanks for watching! While mirin is an important ingredient for traditional Japanese cooking, it does not normally form a part of sushi seasoning.

[@BlueLiberty20]

How do you make it stick together for making rice balls?

[@YutakaRecipes]

I suppose you already use Japanese short grain rice right:) ? You could try a few things to see if it works better: 1, Shape your rice ball while the rice is still warm. 2, If not already done so, wash rice a few times until water is clear to remove extra starch 3, Try less oily/watery fillings and put only a little filling to start with 4, If the rice stick to your hands, damp your hands with salt water 5, Try shape the rice ball using cling film or sushi rolling mat or a rice mould.

[@Deme_Diora666]

@@AaroneStefano you have either used to much water, not cooked it long enough, or not washed it properly because specifically not washing leaves massive amounts of starch on the rice the turns the cooking to gloop

[@flaviomoreno1640]

I did as you said my rice was soooo hard! 🥲

[@YutakaRecipes]

Hi Flavio, we are sorry for that:( Did you soak the rice for 15-30 minutes before you cook? Soaking is important step if you don't have a rice cooker so that the centre of the grain can absorb enough water. We are also uploading a new video of how to cook sushi rice to make it as clear as we can. In the meanwhile you can check here for how to cook rice: www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/253656458

[@markylon]

@@YutakaRecipes 1, you don't mention SOAKING in your video, NEITHER DO YOU TELL US HOW LONG to COOK THE RICE, only rest for 10 minutes, USELESS VIDEO IF YOU ASK ME

[@ericawhincup5426]

Like most others, what does parts mean?

[@natef1212]

ive seen some other people use white wine vinegar in their mix. thoughts on that?

[@YutakaRecipes]

sorry that we missed your question. We recommend to use Japanese rice vinegar which normally only have water, rice and salt in the ingredient list. The Japanese rice vinegar acidity is usually between 4% to 5%.

[@waynechiu1978]

wait what should I do with the rest of the rice vinegar lol

[@marwagad556]

Help plz..... How many Nori sheets are needed for 2 cups of rice? And how could I store the Nori sheets and pink Soy Wrappers after opening the bag? Urgent plz

[@YutakaRecipes]

Hi Marwa, really sorry for not being able to get back to you yesterday:(

[@YutakaRecipes]

For nori storage, it would keep it fresh longer if you could seal the packaging (using tape, or clips or relocate the nori sheets in an air tight container/bag).

[@YutakaRecipes]

rice vs nori: depending on what type of rolls you are making - 150g uncooked rice can make 2 chumaki (medium size rolls with 2-3 fillings using full sheet nori) or 4 hosomaki (thin rolls with 1 filling using half sheet nori) therefore need 2 full sheets of nori

[@joshjudenyman6281]

Thank you so much

[@Matobit]

Thank u very much for this tutorial.. However I cannot have sugar and processed sugar is very terrible so I'm wondering if organic honey is a good alternative?

[@YutakaRecipes]

Hi Shaderite, sorry for my late reply. Some people use honey to replace sugar too so it could definitely work. You could also use mirin, the Japanese sweet rice seasoning. Hope this helps!

[@fyodorkaramazov2136]

Honey is sugar processed by bees

[@markylon]

I just use vinegar, salt comes from Soy Sauce when you dip sushi, sugar is because Americans are obsessed and obese. I only use the vinegar and everyone loves my sushi

[@kezsimpson8506]

do you refrigerate the rest of the vinegar?

No need to if you plan to use whole bottle in 6 months.

[@zaranj1747]

Very good video however she said use one tbsp of salt, six tbsp of sugar, mix is with 9 tbsp of rice vinegar, however she didn’t use all of that vinegar ? So should you throw away the rest ?

[@YutakaRecipes]

Hi Zaranj! Sorry for the confusion! Normally the proportion of rice (uncooked) vs sushi seasoning is like: 250g uncooked rice with 3 Tbsp rice vinegar, 2 tbsp sugar and 1tsp salt. Hope this helps a bit.

[@geordiejohn3703]

Do I need to keep the sushi vinegar in the fridge or not, and how long will it last before it’s no good? Thanks for any advice you can give.

It begins to lose flavor in a few months in the cupboard. If you live alone, better keep it in the refrigerator I'd say.

[@violav.5754]

are there any alternatives i can replace rice vinegar with?

[@YutakaRecipes]

Some people say you could use apple cider vinegar, or other white vinegar or distilled vinegar however for an authentic taste and best result, we do recommend to use Japanese rice vinegar or sushi seasoning. Other types of vinegar may have a different acidity and taste so not as authentic. Hope this helps.

[@KevinontheroadFr]

Thank you for the tips ;)

[@tyzer32]

No salt is added to the rice right?

[@YutakaRecipes]

Hi hi, no salt needed when you cook the rice. Salt and sugar are added to the rice vinegar to make sushi seasoning. We used 3tbsp vinegar, 2tbsp sugar and 1tsp salt but you can also reduce sugar to 1.5 tbsp if prefer less sweet rice. Hope this helps!

[@jamiehazirah3217]

I got mixed up i used mirin insted of rice vingear 😭😭😭 do u think it will turn good? 😭😭

[@YutakaRecipes]

oh no! I'm really sorry to hear that! Please email [e-mail] and we'll see what we can do.

[@vermuchosvideo]

Hi: can I cook the rice a day before make it the roll?

[@YutakaRecipes]

Hi Gretchen, for the best result and taste, we recommend to make the rice on the same day. Make the sushi rice, and cool it at room temperature covered with a damp cloth. Start making your roll when the rice gets close to the body temperature - this makes it easier to shape than cold rice, and brings the flavours of your sushi toppings to life.

[@YutakaRecipes]

When refrigerated, rice becomes dry and not sticky so getting difficult to make into a roll. If you do need to refrigerate the rice, cover it with a damp cloth or put it into an air tight bag. Some people also re-hydrate refrigerated rice by putting it on a bamboo rolling mat and put the mat on boiling water for a couple of minutes to 'steam' the rice a bit.

[@YutakaRecipes]

Hope it helps:)

9 tbsp = 133 ml 6 tbsp = ~90 ml 1 tbsp = ~15 ml

[@kezsimpson8506]

ķ

[@boltortaure1169]

I´m kinda confused. 1 tbsp is around 15 ml. So if I would use 9 tbsp i would have to use 360 ml of rice vinegar and not 40ml. Can someone explain that to me? Edit: Now I understand. You just use a small part of your selfmade rice vinegar mix.

[@Unicatswag]

I think she made more to save it for another time, you can make more rice and use more vinegar or use a smaller measurement like 1 tsp or 1/2 tsp each time. Just make sure you go by 9:6:1 proportion

[@YutakaRecipes]

Sorry for the confusion and thanks Tsiona for your explanation. Yes as long as you have the rice, vinegar, sugar and salt proportion right it should work! In the video we used that so it's a round number but sorry it's not very realistic as most people wouldn't make that much at all!

[@lilianaree]

I had the same problem. I now always use 1 and a half parts of water and one part rice. Works perfect for me. If u can, use a wooden bowl to soak up the last bits of water after. Or spread the rice on a big wooden cutting board. This even helps with cooling the rice.
