Sushi rice is a special type of short-grain rice that becomes sticky when cooked, making it ideal for sushi rolls and nigiri.

How do I cook sushi rice properly?

Rinse the rice several times, soak for 30 minutes, then cook using a 1:1.2 ratio of rice to water in a rice cooker or pot. Let rest for 10 minutes before seasoning.

What kind of vinegar is used for sushi rice?

Seasoned rice vinegar, which includes sugar and salt, is traditionally mixed into cooked sushi rice.

How much sushi rice do I need per person?

Plan on about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of uncooked sushi rice per person for sushi rolls.

Can I substitute other rice types for sushi rice?

For best results, use authentic sushi or short-grain Japanese rice, as other varieties won’t achieve the proper texture.

How do I season sushi rice?

Combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Pour over warm cooked rice and mix gently with a paddle or spatula while fanning.

Rinsing removes excess starch for a less gummy, more polished texture.

Ideally, consume it the same day, but you can cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Reheat gently with a damp towel to restore texture.

How do I prevent sushi rice from getting too soggy or mushy?

Use the correct rice-to-water ratio and avoid overcooking or over-mixing.
