    FAQ:
    WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON'T SOAK JAPANESE RICE?
    If you use a Japanese rice cooker to cook Japanese rice, there is no problem. However, if you cook Japanese rice in a pot and do not allow it to absorb water before cooking, a glue layer will form on the surface of the rice grain. This glue layer prevents water and heat transfer, resulting in rice with uncooked core. Therefore, water absorption is a necessary step.
    DO THE JAPANESE WASH THEIR RICE BEFORE COOKING?
    In a way, we do. But that does not mean you wash it literally with soap; it's like rinsing and gently mixing to remove the bran by soaking the rice in water and rubbing it against each other. Recently, however, due to the development of rice milling technology, little bran remains in the rice, so it is sufficient to rinse lightly.
    WHY IS MY JAPANESE RICE NOT STICKY?
    The causes of Japanese rice becoming dry can be attributed to the amount of water, not soaking enough, or rice being too old.
    WHY IS MY JAPANESE RICE MUSHY?
    If the rice is broken when rinsing, the starch in the rice will dissolve into the water, resulting in mushy rice. Also, too much water will result in a porridge-like texture, so adjusting the amount of water is very important.
    WHY DO THE JAPANESE PUT UNCOOKED RICE IN THE FRIDGE?
    Rice dries and oxidizes in direct sunlight and at high temperatures; when it oxidizes, it loses its flavor. Many people store rice in the refrigerator because it is not exposed to sunlight, and the low temperature slows the oxidation process.
    DO THE JAPANESE ADD SALT TO RICE?
    No, we do not add salt to rice unless there are special circumstances, such as making salted rice balls.

    How would you do this on an electric stove, where heat adjustments are much slower?

    • @SudachiRecipes
      @SudachiRecipes  5 місяців тому +1

      Hi! Sorry for the late response. I don't have an exact answer for that as I have only tried the recipe on Gas and IH stoves. All I can suggest is to try skipping the specific temperature changes. As soon as it starts to boil, reduce the temperature to low and set a timer for 7 and a half minutes. In theory, it will gradually come down in a similar way to my method. The final blast of high heat is also not necessary since the electric stove takes a lot longer to cool down completely and the rice will carry on cooking for a little longer.
      Again, this is just my theory and I don't have access to an electric stove so I can't test it myself, and I can't guarantee it works. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but If you try it out, I'd be interested to know how it goes! Good luck!

      I bought this a long time ago, so I'm not 100% sure, but I think it was a IH safe pot from Nitori. But I just did a quick research, and the exact model seems to be discontinued.

    Do japanese realy wash rice 5 times a day per meal in a every day not special meal situation?

    • @SudachiRecipes
      @SudachiRecipes  Місяць тому

      The decision to wash rice depends on the type and quality of the rice, as well as personal preference/habit. Modern rice in Japan is processed using advanced milling technology, which has significantly reduced the need for washing compared to the past. While some people may still choose to wash rice, it is not absolutely necessary to do so in Japan.
