Choosing a delicious and inexpensive rice is not so simple. This is especially important if it is intended for sushi and rolls. In fact, you can find a quality product in any store.
Pick your recipe
An essential ingredient for making rolls and sushi is rice. Without it, it is impossible to cook this dish correctly. Although in our country, culinary craftsmen are trying to replace it with other ingredients and even potatoes, this undertaking is rarely successful.
As you know, not every rice is suitable for cooking this delicious exotic dish. If there is such an opportunity, it is best to purchase a special product that is designed specifically for sushi and rolls. It is sold in special departments of Asian cuisine or in selected thematic stores. True, it costs much more than usual.
If there is no such department in the vicinity, or simply do not want to overpay, then you can purchase the most ordinary long-grain polished rice. The main thing is not to choose a cereal with round grain for this purpose.
More important is not the rice variety itself, but the way it is cooked. If you add sugar, spices and special rice vinegar to the product immediately after cooking, its taste will be no worse than in real Chinese restaurants.
It is also important to strictly monitor the time of its preparation and to prevent the product from being digested. Otherwise, it is absolutely not suitable for making sushi and rolls.
