A Taste of Japan Sushi

Sushi is a light, healthy Japanese rice dish traditionally served with raw fish,
egg, or cucumber, and often wrapped in sheets of nori (dried seaweed).
Ingredients (serves 4)
To make the rice you will need:
• 300g Japanese short grain rice
• 390ml water
• Sushi vinegar 80ml
• Wooden sushi Bowl (Optional)
Method
• Rinse the rice up to 3-5 times or until the water becomes clear. After washing
the rice soak the rice for at least 30 mins. Then drain after 30 mins.
• Boil the rice: Add the rice and 390ml of fresh water to your saucepan. Put on
the stove, and bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to low and
let the rice simmer for about 15-20 mins. (Make sure to keep the lid on the
sauce pan at all times).
• Steam the rice: Once it has simmered, remove the saucepan from the stove
and leave the rice to steam for a further 10-15 mins.
• Making the sushi rice: Mix 80ml of sushi vinegar (or about 12% of the total
cooked rice weight) with the rice. To get the best flavour, the vinegar needs
to be folded into the rice while it is still warm. As you are mixing the rice and
vinegar together, use a fan to cool the rice and remove the moisture.
Tips
You can vary the amount of sushi vinegar slightly according to your tastes.
For chiraishi (scattered) sushi:
The simplest way to prepare sushi is to add things like:
• julienned or finely chopped carrot, sweetcorn, fried mushrooms, red pepper,
green soy beans, also popular: thin omelette
• but you can add anything you like
• simply mix it all up and serve
• if you like you can make wraps using seaweed or lettuce

bowl of water

• Wet the last part of the nori to help seal the roll
