Vinegared Rice Recipe - Sushi Meshi

RECIPES OF JAPAN

How to prepare vinegared rice.

Ingredients :

1 kg

1 1/4 liters

3 cm

 

 

Dressing:

125 ml

3 tbsp

5 tsp

 

 

 

Short-grain rice

Water

Dried kelp in square slab (konbul)

 

 

 

Rice vinegar

Sugar

Salt

Method :
  • Wash the rice gently under running water, taking care not to crush the grain.

  • Leave the rice to drain in a colander for approx. 1 hour.

  • Put in a saucepan with water and kelp and bring to a boil over high heat.

  • Reduce to medium heat and simmer for approx. 15 minutes until the rice is cooked and water absorbed.

  • Turn off the heat. Remove the lid and cover the top of the pan with a towel to absorb any condensation. Put back the lid and leave the covered saucepan for 20 minutes.

  • While the rice is cooking mix the dressing ingredients in a small bowl, stirring until the sugar has dissolved, then set aside.

  • Put the cooked rice in a wide wooden container or plastic bowl. Stir gently with a rice paddle, sprinkling in the dressing little by little, until it has been absorbed. Ideally, the rice mixture should be fanned while the dressing is being stirred in.

  • Cover the container with the vinegared rice with a damp cloth until it is needed for sushi. Keep at room temperature and use within 12 hours.
