Followed these steps, and used 1:1 water to sushi rice by weight and it improved my sushi rice texture significantly compared to many previous batches.
I did exactly that (followed instructions on the package of the rice) but it came out very "wet" and kind of mushy, any idea on how to improve the result ? Less water ? Less time on high heat ?
The type of rice is called Calrose, this method will work for anything branded as sushi rice, just check the packet for water to rice ratios some can be as low as 1:1, then all the other steps are the same.
Any short grain "sushi rice", I used the variety called Calrose in this video. Just check the packaging to see if they give their own rice to water ratio (this can be as low as 1:1) all the other steps will be the same.
Rice cookers are great, I've used them so much in my career. One kitchen I worked in had one the size of a small bathtub! The thing is to get great results you still need to do all the same steps as cooking on the stovetop. The only difference is the rice cooker controls the temperature when cooking but that's not really hard to do in a saucepan either, you just turn it down to a low heat once it's simmering then turn off the heat when there's no more liquid, it's pretty easy. I cook rice 2 or 3 times a week and I don't feel the need for a rice cooker, it's a single-use appliance (there are other recipes you can do in them but they're generally heavily adapted) and it takes up space I'd rather use for other things in my kitchen. Also, I think if people use a rice cooker from day one of cooking rice then they miss out on learning the skills that can be applied to other recipes that cook in the same method of absorption like risotto, some pasta dishes, cooking with different grains, lentils etc etc etc. There's been a rice cooker boom on the internet in the last few years, so everyone's talking about them like they buy the rice, wash rice, soak the rice, cook it and do the washing up for you afterwards 😂... when in reality they just cook it.
Why does everyone have different ways of making sushi rice? Makes it seem like all the extra shit doesn’t matter. A lot of people soak for less time and cook for the same amount of time. Makes me think that a lot of this is bullshit

Thanks, this really helped me 😊
You can do this while camping but I'm gonna stick to a rice cooker while watching tv.
No Rice vinegar?
Best rice I’ve ever made 👌
Great to hear!
this helped a lot! new sub!
Thanks for the sub!
Thanks 😊
OMG ILYSMM TY FOR THIS

Do you cook the rice in the same water you let it soak in?
Yes
0:49 i needed it for a mask 😂
Underated
THANKS!
@@BenGoshawkI followed the recipe and it actually worked really well
I'm glad! Sushi rice can be complicated, but if you follow the right steps it's not that bad. Thanks for letting me know it worked for you 👍
Love you 😘

Yeah try less water, also low-quality rice brands can give a mushy end texture because of too many broken rice grains
I love this but this is why I have a rice cooker ❤
Can you tell me what brand of sushi rice I can use. 🤔
Wow, my Instant reaction was "I love u" and that's never happened to me before 😮
Huge thank you
You're welcome 😊
What kind of rice are you using here?

My rice water never runs clear even after the 7th rinse 😂
Lol all of us
Why drain if youre gonna add water again anyway?
U drain to remove the starch bruh 😭 not to make it non wet
To remove the excess starch
What type of rice is that
Calrose
Always use your middle finger as a measurement for the water of the rice. It always comes perfectly cooked.
Just use rice cooker it’s so much easier it takes like 2 steps
Because some of us don't want a rice cooker and we prefer the traditional way
Do you stir the rice when its simmering?
no just leave it to cook
Does anyone have a rice cooker?
You got to learn to do it without weighing it or using fancy gizmos
does it matter which rice u use?
I recommend using risotto rice
You want to use short grain sushi rice ideally
50% more water for 200 g rice = 300 ml water. Quick maths
Tip 1: buy a rice cooker
its not even sushi rice, its more smaller and round
thats not sushi rice, its just cooking japanese short grain rice....
Incomplete video, not talking about rice vinegar etc
I can only squeeze so much info into 60 seconds... The short video on my channel posted after this one goes into more details 👍
How about just using a rice cooker? I don’t understand people who cook rice in a saucepan/pot and THEN complain about the quality of their rice.

@@BenGoshawktruth spoken
That's because you don't know what your doing. We don't need all these gadgets.
Rinse rice 3 times? More like 16 times 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. You overcooked it too 😅😅😅😅😅
As an Asian, I can say so many things went wrong in this video
step 1: use a rice cooker
step 0: get rice
@@heyimblooniestep -1: get money to buy rice

Yeah, the traditional way

Ewww what the😂
Everything about every step of this video every frame every words is triggering my asian genes
Why?
@@Sp8ezhe is using a pot
@@Sp8ezAlso I find weighing the rice like that so unnecessary. Just measure it in cups.
Bad description
This is too much math
Heard of rice cookers?
not everyone has one.
If you give me some money I will buy one
Naaaa, you will get raw ass rice if you do this
I make rice all the time on the Stove and it always comes out perfect
2 words: rice cooker.
Just get a rice cooker 😭
Get a rice cooker

It's all about the 1%'s, make each stage/step better for a better end result. This is the difference between good and great
@@BenGoshawkdamn that's a good reply 😂
