Really fine Sushi is no better than the Shari Rice, rice cooked just for this dish. The recipe looks complicated but you will soon learn that it is very simple.
|
What You Need: |
|
|
3 cups short-grain Japanese rice or pearl rice
1 small bundle dried rolled kelp
SEASONING
1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
1˝ tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
|
|
| |
|
|
How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Rinse the rice and place it in a colander to drain. Place the rice in a heavy covered saucepan and allow to sit for ˝ hour in the pot.
|
2. Add 3˝ cups of water and the kelp roll. Place the pan on high heat and, when the rice begins to boil, remove the kelp piece and discard.
|
3. Boil for 2 minutes, lid off. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the rice cool for 10 minutes, lid on.
|
4. In the meantime, heat the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt just until everything dissolves. Allow to cool.
|
5. Place the rice in a large pan. Pour on the seasoning liquid and stir with a wooden spoon, fanning all the time. (Otherwise, use a hand-held fan, stirring and fanning at the same time for about 3 minutes.)
|
6. The rice is now complete. Keep it in the pan under a moist towel as you use it.
