Only pic I have bc last night I got drunk and made sushi lmao. The rice actually turned out the BEST I've ever made, so sticky and the flavor was good. I was just making it up as I went, so I don't even know why or how it turned out so well. I'm used to mushy over-seasoned rice in rolls that I make. What's the trick for perfect rice?

There’s a mouse on your sushi plate
I ask my wife very nicely and somehow she works her magic.
You don’t. Lol
Rice cookers are one of the best inventions of man.
2 cups rice
rinse 3 times,
sit grains in strainer to drain for 5 mins till they go pearl white,
put in larger saucepan,
2 cups rice =500ml,
gently add 600ml water OR until all fingers are covered up to the knuckle in water with your flat hand rested on the rice.
Medium heat for 10 minutes on a timer with sauce pan lid ON, drop to low heat for 5 minutes on a timer, then remove heat and let sit for another 5. Do not remove saucepan lid until ready to stir, you don’t want to lose the steam.
Next crucial step is to then make sushi vinegar seasoning,
which is 250ml rice wine vinegar,
2 tablespoons salt and
6 tablespoons sugar,
add all in small saucepan on low heat,
stir for about a minute until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
Stir up the rice gently carefully not to break the grains, just try to loosen it up. Gently pour your seasoning over the rice, and make sure every grain is covered. Let drop to warm/room temp and go for gold just use it that day!
If you’ve got an air fryer, you’ve got a rice cooker lol
Prepare the rice as usual, take out any racks or anything from the draw.
Put the rice in and cover with boiling water, finger knuckles deep or whatever, add aromats or spices etc.
Wrap the draw in tin foil, trap the stream in there, put it in the air fryer and cook it for like 25 30 mins at 200C.
Why don’t you just invest in a rice cooker? You can get them for relatively cheap
Easy. Stovetop
Stovetop isn’t hard, but honestly $45 for a rice cooker where you set it and forget it and it’s perfect every time is worth every penny.
why is only one other person talking about the ferret
I don’t use a rice cooker for any of my rice. Just practice, trial and error, and a good cast iron pot
However did they do it before electricity, I wonder 🤔
What i do is follow all the steps of washing and then add rice but you add same amount of water but just a Lil bit more cause I like my sushi rice to bit more on the softer side it’s all preference tho.. put a lid on put fire on high once it boils drop it to lowest temp then turn it off after 15 min then let it steam for another 15 should be good after that do not open lid after turning off the fire for steaming process
