How To Make Sushi Rice Recipe

[Nshiraful]

lol at the fan;p

[xTHECODGODx]

Squiwar in the beginning! :D

[Ketchme17]

I think this video is slightly misleading. There is a rice called "Sticky Rice" (also called glutinous or sweet rice) which stuff like mochi is made out of. Most Asian rices are sticky, but the type of rice used for sushi and everyday Japanese meals is actually called Japonica rice. I'm almost positive that they are 2 different types of rice.

[akaysha1985]

lol i used the electrical fan instead. :D 

[Draculhitz]

... i know what my next week.end project is!

[LilPandabear1]

KID: When I grow up, I'm going to be a sushi chef

MOM: No you won't with these grades.

KID: Shut up! You already finished school and got a job, so quit bumming me out, woman!

[HoneyAndSulfur1991]

I don't have a pot so I just boil mine and it comes out the same, I let it set for a good 30-40 mins to cool before I add ingredients.

[CrystalSoulLove88]

loool...this will not be easy ,I should probably stick to fruits as always haha ..., but I said I try so I have to lool

[MrMaxman87]

Stingy enough???? "add your usual amount of water".....it's like WHICH IS???? I had to ask my mom, and it isn't hard to say "3 cup"

[coolerdude42]

@MrMaxman87 thats because its not always 3 cups of water depending on the amount of the rice. A good technique to know how much water is to place your hand flat on the rice in the rice cooking pot, and fill it with water until the water level reaches anywhere right before your knuckles. It doesnt have to be precise.

[raficsulejmanovic]

sounds like a 70ish porno music

[lotuskoko]

wow. that does NOT look like 1 cup of rice. and i agree with bignick071. never stir or mash the rice.

[Jrunri]

I thought it was a lot of vinegar mixture. That's enough for 6 times the rice according to one recipe I'm looking at. lol

[LadyHells16]

Lol

[honger1]

@t3tsuya you're right. I was just trying to make a point that it's not pointless to wash the rice. but you don't need to be a fucking dick about it.

[bespontaneousalways]

Is there a certain brand of rice or rice vinegar that we we should use?

[holaanime101]

i want to make sushi rice for a meal not to make sushi rolls... do I still have to do the vinegar step.....

[t3tsuya]

@holaanime101 you want slightly acidic and sweet rice with your meal??

[mandrew767]

do i really need to do the fan thing??? :P

[lamarfamar]

@mandrew767 YES YES YES

[MsBlueblu]

Can it be apple cider?

[lamarfamar]

@MsBlueblu NO

[honger1]

@iindenunklenschatten it's sticky from vinegar not the starch on the rice. Take it from a sushi chef

[hippymobster]

GAHH! that voice at the beginning is driving me crazy cause i cant figure out where it came from. ive heard it before but i cant think of where >n<

[aidenurman]

@hippymobster spongebob

[hippymobster]

@aidenurman omg thank you so much. seriously...f*ckin squidward XI

[SNB3forever]

i just made sushi and i didnt add anything to the rice! just alittle extra water, and it came out nice/moist and not too sticky either, it turned out delicous! ;D, so if your trying to half @ss it like me, plian rice will do fine, plus ik somone with a stickk up there @ss is ganna yell at me for this! but i used long grain jasmine rice too instead of short, ooppps! :) turned out beastin!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[indendunklenschatten]

Washing the rice is pointless especially since you DO want it to be sticky.

[FayIrvanto]

The steps are fine with me. But I will use different amount of sugar and salt for different taste. I think adding extra sugar will be better.

[Inferno966]

@scolarskimbal Ha this is "specifically" a recipe used to make sushi rice itself, if you want to make the rest of the sushi involving the actual seaweed, seafood and vegetables then there are other instructive videos to help you do so. Otherwise this is not meant to be eaten alone, so "obviously" you would not like it. And to be even more clear sushi is eaten with fingers or preferably by chopsticks , if you want a real rice recipe then try fried rice;)...*smirks*...wow =.=

[TheRudyroo71]

The amount of sugar and salt seem outrageous for one cup of rice. That has got to be wrong.

[ngrett81]

I have a question about the process of waiting thirty minutes after the rinse cycle.

What is the effect of this?

I've been a sushi chef for two years and worked under a fee chefs some of which scorned the waiting after the rinse. The argument was pertaining to the texture and firmness of the rice. I do think there is also a relationship of the quality and the age of the rice being used.

Thoughts? Opinions?

[FayIrvanto]

@ngrett81 I have the same question. It is somehow also mentioned in bestseller book Japanese Home Cooking by Harumi Kurihara..There should be a good reason..

[Trikisixx]

what the hell kind of magic rice is that. This is NOT 1 cup of cooked rice.  Recipe fail.

[SilENT408FluFFY]

i want sushi so bad right now D:

[jonkaslivy]

OK, I just now made california rolls with this rice recipe because I had lost my previous recipe. It's good, really good for a sweet tooth, but a little too sweet for my liking. Still good though, I would say cut down on the sugar a bit. Still again.. very good. Thank you for sharing!

[thinkdeepr]

@Scolerskimbal...It's called sushi rice because it's used to make sushi, and not necessarily made to be eaten alone, so shut the fuck up criticising videos when you don't even know what the hell your talking about.

[Scolerskimbal]

@thinkdeepr Yeah well thanks for that really constructive reply, maybe if you spent more time making the food you see on youtube than wrongly moaning about intelligent comments you would find out why this boring, weird rice stuff made me gag, where in the video is some fishys or vegetables or stuff? Er, nowhere. Wow what a tasty meal. How are you meant to eat it anyway? With a spoon? With your hands? Yeah, great

[KingOfTheBeyond23]

@thinkdeepr AHAHAHA! Nice.

[Scolerskimbal]

I made this rice but it is boring eating it cos it is just rice and it is rubbish. Sushi is supposed to have fishes and stuff in it but this is just like eating a cake with vinegar. Not a good recipe, make better videos

[catnips0addict]

@Scolerskimbal lol that was a dumb comment.

[darklord809]

I could eat the rice all day

[MegaMadcowdisease]

You can also use jasmine rice and tastes the same.

Use 3 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 3 tablespoons of sugar and some salt (not required)

[VenusAsABoyFilms]

the music is a bit too much for this kind of video! ;-)

[ninja1018]

i wish this site would ban music when is isn't appropriate for a video. if we want to hear music while watching the video, we'll play some fucking music

[dazstar]

@ninja1018

Make your own F'ing video then....

[biggelove09]

LOL @ me I break every rule when it comes to this. I stir sometimes and I do everything right under the A/C vent... I dont use the 50.00 wooden bowl ... So far is has worked out great. Im gonna try it the "right" way next time... If there is no difference Im going back to my way. Ive noticed they make thiers with a lot of love, "respect the rice" and "serve in two's" Ive heard.

[angeline75]

Thanks so much for posting this video. And Chrisinmainz, I am also going to try an electric fan :).

[mariaperiwinkle]

wouldn't the salt in itself putt out moisture? ps thanks fcr the video

[8888Eastman]

did you use a rice cooker or a pot to cook the rice?

[cainemansion125]

@8888Eastman rice cooker

[ThePetalbluelite]

Too bloody long for just boiled rice, learn to edit!!!!

[bmonitg1]

Can you give me proporcion how much viniger sous should i mix with what amount of unboiled rice ( after boiling its much more)

[Kurasutaru]

ahhhh!!!! she's stiring it wtf? I'm outta here....

[popze]

How do I keep my sushi rice moist? I normally make a batch a day befor I need to use them since im not able to get up early enough to cook them on the same day. But everytime I do it they get really dry and grainy.

[KiriouSs]

fck i want this song^^

[cyanyap]

just done my perfect sushi roll~for tomorrow lunch & dinner, my housemate after teste my sushi thumb up for my sushi roll...

[jessehou86]

where can i get the beat?

[chinkyeyedfridays]

Dope. Thanks.

[yosi1653]

WHAT THE FUCK IS VINIGER?!?!

[uRDArkFRieND30]

whAT?! I didnt know that fan is needed..but i did sushi rice last night and while mixing it i thought about the fan to cool it....but thats weird...thnx for the video can i use apple vinegar or grape vinegar instead??

[cyanyap]

@uRDArkFRieND30 rice vinegar will be the best...

[AngelaChapman02]

I'm actually going to try something new, actually try to make sushi rice, thank you for the tip.

[dalecanonrock]

all i need is rice vinegar...!!!!

[BarEnFaroth]

Brilliant thanks.

[ISFRProInc]

hahaha does this alter the taste of the sushi what so ever? becuase im about to make some and i saw that this is the common recepie that everyone uses. at first i though the fan was just for show, but everyone does it!!! hahah pretty cool pretty cool, im russian, so that means im part asian so lets see how this will work out for me!!!! wish me luck!!

[witchman1]

I like pie, Bob.

[snowwhitesam]

This is a great tutorial, really helpful! I was just wondering that if you made a big bowl of this, is there a way of storing it so it lasts a few days? I don't know whether it must be freshly made to work or not. Thanks

[redefinemagazine]

@snowwhitesam mostly you should make it fresh. please make sure to read our notes and use less vinegar than the video actually calls for! thanks!

[feariekelly]

any kind of rice?

[ecuaz89]

@feariekelly Buy sushi rice and u dont have to cook the viniger mix just mix the vinegar with sugar and mix it then add orange and that it

[PorsukToros]

mostly i let it stay in the pan for 2 3 hours, i dont use fan, also sometimes i dont even use vinegar, (mostly i do), bcuz i love soy souce while eating, vinegar doesnt change the taste too much.... the reason i dont stir is your reason, it makes it sticky and granulated.

also you guys should try using kombu while cooking the rice. it changes it completely.

[Tanyu5hka]

awesome

[BrothersFreedive]

All these sushi how-tos are just one person's version or recipe. You can use a number of different things for your vinegar beyond the recipe here. You can stir or fan your rice or both. Slashing just sounds silly, I deal with sushi rice every day. I wear oiled vinyl gloves. This prevents TOO HOT OR MOIST RICE from sticking. What the stirring and fanning does is accelerate the evaporation of the moisture from the rice. The end result is pliable rice that doesn't disintegrate the nori.

[traviswarr1]

aw man! i made the rice then read the description about using half the vinegar mix, i'm still gonna use it hopefully it won't be horrible

[1greypilgrim]

very helpful. Domo thank you!

[TruonGuhh]

Any Difference If I Use Sushi Vinegar Or Rice Vinegar Compared To Just Normal Vinegar? Because I Know Normal Vinegar Needs Sugar, But Not Too Sure About The Sushi/Rice Vinegar. If You Could Help Me, That Would Be Great!

[BruNoLoCc]

yeah sushi vinegar is just pre prepared, you don't need to add the sugar and salt...you can use sushi vinegar

[ARadicalAliensNoun]

@TruonGuhh Use rice vinegar, and yess, add sugar.

[NobbyKNobbs]

I was watching Simply Ming on PBS make sushi at home and an electric fan works as well.

[hyperlink101]

what song is this? its really chill

[Soesii]

That doesn't look too hard :D Im going to buy some fish and try it today!

(Pray for me and my cooking skills, lol)

[PinkMerr]

tqtq i like it!!

[BigNick071]

you NEVER stir sushi rice!! it makes it too sticky and therefore harder to work with. You should always slash or cut the rice in the bowl with a paddle. Slash it for about ten minutes while fanning it until it reaches room temperature.

[vraymond02]

@BigNick071 Agreed!

[throxnet]

@BigNick071 stfu

[Aluminumemu]

great vid! what's the name of the song?

[micky2515]

so what are the right measurements of each to use?

[zikzell]

i will try to do it today =D!

[moonitelady]

thank you

[AngellGaby]

It's possible to do without rice vinegar?

I cant found it in my country D:

[kiminokami]

Can you reasonably get it shipped from an online vendor?

[AngellGaby]

@kiminokami Hmm Probaly..

I found it in a market here =D

I made a sushi night in my home last week...

First time i prepared a sushi by myself..

:]

[Usernamenotpresent]

@AngellGaby yo were do u live?

[AngellGaby]

@Usernamenotpresent

Brazil

[darky12]

@AngellGaby Try to use red wine vinegar or for some people apple vinegar has worked (not a favorite of mine) just experiment with different vinegars and youll find one that you find to be decent or even better.

[AngellGaby]

Thankz for that...

I Tryed wine vinager and worked vry well...

I put a smaller amount and I Enjoyed more the flavor of the rice combined with tuna..

PS: Sorry my englis sucks :(

[darky12]

No worries. You speak it well enough that i can understand. Have a nice time enjoying sushi.

[madlin417]

good video very useful

[YettiYogiBear]

I thought the camerman was doing a fine job at fanning.

[skycub99]

have you ever used the powdered vinegar for sushi rice?  i see it at the market but i have not tried it.

[kuty9111]

IS that rice we normally ate or have to be the japanese rice?

[WeynWild]

just normal rice but has to be short grain

[BboyFeeney]

The normal rice you usually eat (or at least me) is Long Grain rice. From what I heard long grain rice won't be as sticky as short grain or sushi rice.

[patrick10001]

@BboyFeeney You can use pandan rice. At some flower if needed.

[leepenguin]

lol i added 6 tablespoons of rice vinegar, too sour!

[69giraffe]

Salamat nakatulong ng malaki ito. actually para sa mga nag comment, tantyahin niyo na lang yung vinegar mixture. kayo naman nagagalit agad. hehehe. peace. Ngayon ko lang nalaman pinapakuluan pala ang suka mixture. salamat.

[ankhfloyd]

I like the video a lot, but I think its pretty basic if you could at least share how much water you are using for the rice. I was kind of clueless when it came to that...:/

[dcdondro]

I see it says they give full credit for the music they use... did I miss where credit is given? I'm just currious who the music is by.

[tonylogon]

I am not calling this person any names, and I do thank him for his video, but Warwick is right ,, to much vinegar sugar and salt.

[tsh22]

Can someone tell me if they use special vinegar or is it ordinary vinegar?

Tanx

[AcryllicWonder]

You can use either or, but there is a special "sushi vinegar" you can buy. If you're going to go to the lengths of buying that then you might as well get some dried kelp to add to the rice when you boil it too.

[dcdondro]

sushi vinegar = rice vinegar + salt & sugar.

[damienrunaway]

actually if you look at him making the rice.. he doesn't put ALL of the vinegar sugar and salt in it, Are you sure you didn't just dump all of it in there and go?

[satanicristo]

I NEED A RICE COOKER T.T

[leenzyan]

Ngek. Ano ba yaan

[godtroung]

its better to add the vinegar mix by pouring it on the spoon and letting drop in the rice its an old japanese tradition

[mackeeyabc123]

thank you so much for this video it has really helped me make sushi ...properly :p

[chrisinmainz]

I'm gonna break tradition and use an electric fan at the end, thanks. . .

[imakevideos270]

this is the best comment on youtube.  thank you.

[lilies7]

what does the vinegar do?

[glorplaxy]

flavor

[koichitokita]

It helps make the rice sticky

[Quiet0wing]

Adds stickyness.

[DISN92]

awesome vid thanks n.n

[doublemyty]

Very nice video, how hard is it to keep the mixing bowl clean?

[MinxKitty12]

0:02- 0:15

is that squidward?! 0_0

nice vid though!

[narutohinata000]

yeah it does sound like him

lol

this is a good sushi vid

[lilaznmonkey6292]

It is Squidward! lol

[LeHoangOanh]

Yeppy!!

thnx so now i can make california sushi roll! n many others :)!

[RiseInGirl]

do you add the vinegar mix right when the rice is done?? (when its hot and moist and all)

[nodwado]

You should never add the vinegar when the rice is still hot because it absorbs the vinegar,You want the vinegar to coat the individual rice granuals on the outside. So fan the rice(putting it in the fridge helps)and add the vinegar when the rice is luke warm.

[gottalovesoccer]

cool vid..

its good to know how to make the rice :)

[pinkyy91]

do we really have 2 sit d rice 4 30 mins??

coz d other videos does not sit their rice

so confusing!!argghh 0_o

[xSw33txCak3xGurlx]

Kool Now I know how to make that rice!!!!!

Thanx for the recipe!!!!!!!

[shannoninchile]

what's the background music?? me likey

[shaynab]

i did this and my rice was awful! to much rice vinegar!

[Sephiroth21682]

mine was also too moist, i have to put it in the refrigerator and hope it dries more

[Danzel76]

Now that i know the type of rice. If I'm using a rice cooker what is the usual ratio of rice to water?

[blackjack21x]

1.15

[DueDimartino]

10% more water than rice.

[LaylaBaker3]

[Danzel76]

What is the best type of rice for sushi?

[catarona]

is a short to midium grain rice.

sorry my english. it is labelled as sushi rice too. you can go to any asian food store.

[MZmatt1]

good vid, i like the humor parts :)

[Theemptyservant]

Awesome, very helpful. I like the song in the background as well!

[tripleXpix]

This video is useless. Please delete before you ruin someones dinner!!

[bbhaver]

lol

[FFFOFFwojo]

nice song! spongebob samples!

[Oktava12]

i think that's definately not one cup...

[Kyolay26m]

What does the Vinegar mixture do to the rice??

[ariyarak]

if you put too much vinegar then it becomes a soup. a sweet & sour rice soup!

[brian8793]

LOL. So true............

[ariyarak]

the vingegar mix is wrong!

my sushi rice turned into rice pudding!

[alexiswhaa]

maybe what you did is wrong!

[lantis123]

sounds tasty too. LOL.

[evilhkl]

isnt that 2 cups of rice =.=

[pkg292]

mixing the vinegar into the rice also done incorrectly

[pkg292]

washing process is done incorrectly... if less water is left in the bowl the grains rub against each other better

[znayrbz]

uhhh.. was the rice measured with a liquid measure ?!

[friedricemonster]

the most important part was to make the vinegar mix and they didnt even show it. I want to know how much water, vinegar and sugar are suppose to be added to the mix. The rice making is the easy part.

[znayrbz]

it says sugar, rice vinegar and salt and all of those had amounts given at the beginning--no water.

[iloveqatar4ever89]

disgusting

[ewanthug]

haha.dont eat sushi

[juniorudo]

what's the name of the song?
