Thank you!💗🌵
Okay hear me out, I have worked at 5 sushi restaurants and i find that if you rinse rice really well and do equal parts water to sushi rice and bring to a boil, turn it down to medium/low and cover with lid for 10-15 min then turn heat off and let it steam with lid on for 10 min it makes for less mushy and easier to work with. You can always splash in more water as you go if it seems too dry
Imma call you next time I make sushi because I’m determined to get the rice perfect!!
@@strangedaysdiaries It is so hard!!!
Now I’m craving sushi 🍣! Both of you did a great job.
Please rinse the rice. It removes excess starch from the grain's surface, which prevents cooked rice from becoming gummy, resulting in a fluffier texture. It also helps to remove dirt, dust, debris, and potential pesticides that may be present on the rice kernelsIt will be safer and healthier for you. For sushi, use short-grain rice (I noticed yours was medium to long). Boil 3 parts water, two parts rice. Once cooked, set aside to cool down for a bit. To make it more authentic, sushi rice has some extra add ons. Combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a separate saucepan (some use konbu extract, but I don’t). Cook over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Allow the vinegar mixture to cool, then stir it into the cooked rice. Stir until the rice is nice and sticky - it'll look wet at first, but it'll dry as it cools. You will have the perfect sticky Japanese’s sushi rice. It will have that special familiar sushi rice flavor. Of course, it’s easier to make rice in a Japanese Zojirushi rice cooker, but you are in a van. You can do it with your sauce pan just fine. Make sure to keep wetting your hands while handling the rice so it won’t stick to your fingers. Also cut the rolls with a serrated knife. Makes a much cleaner cut than a smooth blade. Love mine with sushi and wasabi. BTW, it’s perfectly fine to eat sushi with your hands as well (but not sashimi). I spent two years in Japan. Been there a few times as well. But still, looks like you and your friend’s sushi was still tasty. In the end, that’s all it matters. 😁👍
Ingredients:
2 cups uncooked Japanese short-grain white rice (sushi rice)
3 cups water
½ cup rice vinegar
¼ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
Hope that helps! 😇🙏🏻
Oh, I just discovered your channel. Just subscribed… 😁
Also if you use cling wrap to roll it you can cut into it with the wrap on while keeping it all together
Yesss thank you! I typically do this but didn’t have plastic wrap this time around 🥲
Hello, was thinking maybe u can get a rice cooker, I see other camper? There its portable once. The index finger and water up to first line it touch its right. Thanks for sharing
maaate you know what i do.. i change it a bit.. i make like buddah bowls.. like put rice.. then ya veges like capsiscum.. avo etc then mayo on the side seseme seeds etc then i put squres of the sea weed.. so its like sushi but easier
I'm really enjoying these last few videos 🍣
That means so much! I’ve been having a lot of fun filming them.
Never had sushi b4 but that does look pretty good. Also yeah Skoolie was f'in wild this year. Great video and Happy Travels! 🤙🏾
You have inspired me to make sushi. Looks pretty easy. I'll have to try!
"...which is kinda sacrilege, but whatever." A great life philosophy! :)
Today I learned the basic formula for making sushi. Thank you ladies!
Hi Aja!! You look so cool in a hat!!😎 Im not a huge fan of sushi, but as always… you make it look so good!! Cooking with Aja Rocks!! Lol Glad to see you have some good times!! Peace Aja!!🫶🏽
We always put about half inch to a full inch above rice with water. Seems crazy to put so lil amount
We make sushi every week. I don't like nori so I use soy wraps for mine. We put our rice on top of the nori/soy wrap like Sam did.
I always buy sushi 🍣 already made
OMG 😂 I swear that I made sushi in the desert for the first time yesterday lmaooo what a coincidence
i love your sunglasses! 💛 do you remember where you got them? been looking for a pair like that
Aw thanks so much! Surprisingly I got them off Amazon!
oh tofu yum
Your Friend Sam Is Very Very Very Cool 😎 Aja, And, You Guys Cook A Lot Of Excellent Foods To Aja👍
