Midiendo el arroz de sushi
Cocina el arroz a fuego alto al principio, revuelve cada minuto o dos, hasta que el agua hierva. Luego, baja el fuego a bajo y cubre la olla.
Después de 6-8 min, verifica el nivel de agua – Si no hay más agua, solo granos de arroz más grandes en la olla, eso significa que el arroz está listo. Si no, verifica de nuevo cada minuto, asegurándote de no quemar el arroz en el fondo.

came out quite good, used same ingridients however i didnt add all the vinegar to rice, left it to taste. other than that, soft, and sticky =D …. btw, tip leave it 30 mins to soak up before cooking o.o
My rice turned out great, but being from South Louisiana, I already knew how to cook rice. It's a staple food here too. I ended up making 7 rolls, 3 shrimp/avocado/cucumber, 3 salmon/avocado/cucumber, and one inside out roll with shrimp. My wife ate sushi for the first time and loved it. She ate 9 pieces of the shrimp rolls. I cooked my shrimp by boiling it with Zatarains crab boil. That's our usual seasoning here for shrimp. I figured that if the taste was familiar to my wife that she would like it, she did. My first time to eat sushi was in Iwakuni, Japan in 1972. I've loved it since. Making it is even more rewarding.
that is so cool! i live in houston and im planning to make my husband some sushi and crispy rice for dinner tomorrow. so in los angeles, the sushi joints take a piece of sushi rice like the size you would use for an individual piece of nigiri (dominoe size) and fry it up with some black sesame seeds sprinkled on it and a band of seaweed wrapper (nori). you can just dip it in sauce or place fish or veggies on each piece. mmmmm the sushi rice gets a nice crispy crunch on the out side. this must be owing to the starch, sugar, vinegar, and the oil u cook it on. i would recommend it!
Made my first sushi last night, it turned out great. I had a little trouble with the inside out roll, my rice was not perfect. I will watch my rice closer next time or maybe it was my knife. The rice kind of pull apart on a few rolls. Your instructions were very helpful. Domo!
Yes until it was cool enough to mix the vinegar by hand as it breaks the rice less. But don't leave it to cool completely as the rice will become a sticky mess.;)
Did you cool the rice before you put your su (vinegar/sugar/salt) sauce on it?Just wondering. There are a lot of tips out there . . but some of them make this rice sound more involved than planning a wedding. (grin)
Fantastic! Thanks. Rice came out perfect. I did 3 cups of rice to 3 cups and a half water. Half cup vinegar.
Can I use sushi rice to make an onigiri?
As others here – I'm preparing to make the leap and try to make some sushi this weekend! I have no idea what possessed me, but I decided I wanted to try to make it.I can assure you, I'll be following this guide. Some of the other instructions are so intensive and laborious, they almost make you think eh, I'll just pick up a phone and order.
Thank you for great instructions for a very successful first sushi! Unfortunately my phone pic is too big. But trust me it was delish!
We were concerned about the rice because the vinegar really smelled it up! But it turned out to be great! Thank you
Rice has rich minerals to protect use from many health problem, I'm having it atleast ones a day by the suggestion of dietitian which is working very well..
Nice guide, I combine this guide with an ebook about Learn to Make Sushi at Home http://goo.gl/mDloc, and found great result. can you suggest me more guide?
I've tried this recipe and wasn't disappointed. It was pretty nice. But my rice needed a little more time to cook, maybe + 3-4 mins. Also, for some 1/2 cup of vinegar might appear a little too much(like me) I use just a little less, which is just right.
fantastic tutorial, my rice is perfect, thank you for sharing
I did it!!! Every one love my sushi and are asking me to prepare more. Thanks!!!!
Your recipe actually works very well for regular rice in lieu of sushi rice.
I've actually used regular rice, the minute rice that is done in 5 min, and it comes out great, then again I have a recipe book and sushi making kit so I can follow that. Lol I'm going to try the sushi rice though, and I'll let you guys know how that turns out
never thought it needed sugar and salt. thanks!
it sounds very exciting to have homemade yummy sushi Can someone share a link or a picture of rice vinegar? I do not know what it looks like or where to get it.
Just made a batch. OMG, I'm so full now. Was perfect, had to perfect my rolling technique plus get the right amount of rice. This was my first batch of makis and it's definitively not the last one. Was so good! Thanks!
Your recipe is our recipe of choice whenever we make sushi. We find it clear, easy to follow, and I have a hard time keeping my kids from eating the rice before it makes it into the seaweed! 🙂
Sushi rice is just small rice. Big rice doesn't get sticky and it if it gets overcooked it gets this texture which isn't nice 🙂
Great guide for sushi rice 😀 For those using metric system, I used:290mL BLue Dragon rice,310mL water,50mL rice vinegar (5%),1 table (soup) spoons of white sugar,2 teaspoons of salt.
thanks so much! we just made sushi as a family activity and it was so much fun! i followed your seps to prepare the rice and it was excellent
Two TABLESPOONS of sugar? That's pretty excessive.
Actualy, 2 Tablespoons is not that much if yiu think about it. 3 cups of uncoocked rice will yield 5-6 cups of cooked rice and the sweetness will be balanced out with the sour vinegar and the salt
Is sushi rice different in its cooking methods than regular rice as in does it get sticky if overcooked and if that does happen, can it be rinsed and still used for sushi rolls? Sushi rice is just small rice. Big rice doesn't get sticky and it if it gets overcooked it gets this texture which isn't nice 🙂
Mmmm I'm excited to try this out! Any tips on measuring the water so it isn't too much?
