To make the rolls tasty, as well as hold well and not fall apart, it is necessary to properly cook rice for them. To do this, you will need to know the basic rules for cooking this product.
It is necessary
- - 300 grams of special rice for sushi and rolls;
- - 1 tablespoon of sugar;
- - 1/2 teaspoon of salt;
- - a piece of kombu seaweed;
- - water.
Instructions
Step 1
First, you need to thoroughly rinse the rice several times in cool water, and then discard it in a colander and leave to drain for 20-30 minutes. The excess liquid should be drained off.
Step 2
After the specified time has passed, pour the cereal into a deep, comfortable saucepan and fill it with water. The liquid should be about five times that of rice. It is very important that the container is not more than 1/3 full. This must be borne in mind when choosing a suitable cooking pot.
Step 3
Cover the container with a tight lid and bring to a boil. After that, bring the heat to low and cook the rice for about 12-15 minutes. During this time, he must have time to absorb all the water.
Step 4
Remove the container with semi-cooked rice from the heat and, without opening the lid, put it in a warm place for another 20 minutes. No need to stir the product or add anything to it.
Step 5
In a separate container, mix 20 ml of special rice vinegar, half a teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Once all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, you can pour the mixture over the rice. But you cannot mix the cereals! The specified amount of the mixture is enough for 300 grams of rice.
It is most convenient to start cooking rolls after the kris has completely cooled down and thoroughly soaked in vinegar.
