Rice Cooking SOS

Cooking on a hob:

Properly cooked rice is integral to making good sushi that will hold together well and taste great too. The best way to check whether your ice is cooked is by tasting it. If it is too firm or has a slight crunch to it you need to cook it for longer.

Here are our 5 top tips to cooking the perfect sushi rice every time!

1. Rinse your rice in cold water before cooking.

2. Add rice to cold water and then bring to the boil.

3. Keep a lid on the saucepan whilst cooking so that all the liquid is abosorbed into the rice (Approx. 15 minutes)

4. Add more water if you see the rice separating (small pit holes appear in the rice just before it starts to burn so watch out for these). Remove from the heat immediately if the rice is cooked or add water and continue cooking if the rice is still too firm.

5. Leave rice to stand for five minutes with the lid on after cooking.
