To prepare rolls and sushi at home, it is not necessary to use special sushi rice. Of course, it is more convenient to use special rice, because… it cooks quickly, literally in 15 minutes. But if you don’t have such rice, you can easily replace it with regular rice https://greenelly.com/. The main requirement for cooked rice is that it must be sticky in order to keep its shape and not crumble. To do this, you need to take short-grain rice, unparboiled, so that it does not turn out crumbly and so that our rolls do not fall apart!
So, you need to take 1 cup of rice, rinse thoroughly with cold water several times until the water becomes clear. Before cooking rice for rolls and sushi, you can soak it for 10 minutes. Then drain the water and add 280 ml of water. Try to open the lid of the pan in which the rice will be cooked as little as possible. Cook the rice on high heat for the first 5 minutes, then on medium for 5 minutes, and on low for another 5 minutes. Before turning it off, increase the heat again for half a minute, then turn it off.
Leave the finished rice covered for 10 minutes.
Season the rice with the rice vinegar marinade, cool it until warm and you can start making rolls and sushi!
How to do this, I suggest you look at the article for a step-by-step recipe for making sushi.
Happy cooking!
