preparing rice for sushi

1. Take Japanese, short-grain rice or special rice for sushi. Long-grain and steamed rice are not suitable for making sushi and rolls - they have a low starch content, such rice does not have the necessary gluten.
2. Rinse the rice, drain the cloudy water and refill with clean, cold running water. The rice must be washed at least 7 times, the water should become clean and clear. Drain the washed rice in a colander and leave it there for 10 minutes.
3. Place the rice in a thick-bottomed saucepan, cover with water, and place on the fire. The ratio of water to rice may vary slightly depending on the variety of rice.
4. When the water boils, cover the pan with a transparent lid, reduce the heat to low and cook for about 12-15 minutes. During this time, the moisture should completely evaporate. The lid must not be opened during cooking.
5. After the specified time, remove the pan with rice from the heat and leave the rice to steam under the closed lid for another 10 minutes. Do not open the lid.
6. Prepare the rice dressing: Pour rice vinegar (use rice vinegar; you should not replace it with table vinegar) into a small saucepan, add sugar and salt, heat over low heat until the salt and sugar dissolve, remove the dressing from the heat (the dressing should not boil under any circumstances).
7. Transfer the cooked rice to a deep wooden bowl and pour the vinegar dressing over the rice. Stir the rice gently with a wooden spatula, being careful not to break the grains, and let it cool. Once the rice has cooled, you can begin preparing the sushi and rolls.
