How to cook rice for sushi?
To prepare sushi, it is best to take Japanese rice, as it differs from other varieties in better stickiness. Wash 200 g of rice in cold water, changing it periodically, until the water has a clear color. Strain it through a sieve and set aside for an hour. Then put the rice in a deep pan and pour 250 ml of water. The water in the pan should be a third more rice. Cover the pan with a lid, put on a fire and let the water boil. Boil the rice on low heat for 13 minutes until the water is absorbed. After, remove the pan and let the cooked rice stand for 15 minutes, but do not open the lid. Next, prepare sushi or rolls (for rice you need rice vinegar, fresh fish, nori seaweed and Philadelphia cheese) and enjoy their incredible taste! Bon Appetit!
