Vinegar Sushi Rice

 

Sushi is a Japanese Cuisine, everyone knows! and I believe that most of us had ate sushi before, but do you know how to make it? is actually not that difficult nor simple, require more on your skill, the more you make it the better you will become :)

This was my first attempt making vinegar sushi rice. I bought a small packet of Japanese short grain rice from Cold Storage (local supermarket) and Pre-mix Sushi Vinegar. this is very simple you don't even have to cook the vinegar with salt, sugar in the traditional way. 

Ingredient :

• 3 cups of rice - washed and drain
• Water - for cooking of the rice
• 1/2 cup of Sushi Vinegar
• 3/4 Vinegar added water

Method :

1. Place rice into a rice cooker, and cook. When cooking is finished, keep the cooker covered and let it stand for about 10min until grains are settled.
2. Then transfer rice to a wooden sushi bowl moistened with vinegar added water.
3. Slowly sprinkle the pre-mix vinegar all over the rice, toss the rice while cooling the rice with a fan. 
4. When tossing is completed, cover the rice with a clean cloth moistened with vinegar added water.

Ingredient of making sushi :

• 1 Japanese Cucumber - sliced
• 3 crab sticks - boiled and sliced
• 2 eggs - beaten, Pan fry and sliced
• Sushi Bamboo roll mat
• 6 pieces of nori seaweed

Method :

1. Place a nori seaweed sheet on the bamboo roll mat
2. Put the Vinegar sushi rice lighty on the nori sheet and spread over the sheet leaving 3/4 inch at the top and the bottom uncovered.
3. Place ingredients on the rice
4. Gently but firmly press the bamboo mat then roll to shape it.
5. Cut into 1/2 inch
6. Served with wasabi and Japanese Soy Sauce.

My rolling skill is not good, hopefully will improves with more practice, overall the sushi taste is there, give it a try :D
