Steps:
- The most important thing to get right when cooking sushi rice is the ratio of rice to water. It's better to use a volume measure rather than weighing. Use a cook's 250ml measuring cup if you have one, or a short glass, teacup or small mug. Once you've made one batch, you'll know how much cooked rice that measure makes - it should be about 2½ cups.
- Measure out 1 cup rice into a saucepan, rinse the rice, swirling it around the pan, then drain off the water. Try not to lose any of the rice. Add 1½ cups water (about 375ml).
- Bring the rice to a simmer quickly, put on a tight-fitting lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 13 mins - don't take the lid off.
- Check a couple of grains at the top - the rice should be just about cooked and the water evaporated. If not, continue to cook and check at 2 min intervals, each brand of rice will differ. Turn the heat off and leave the rice to stand with the lid on for 10 mins so all the moisture is absorbed. Add sushi rice seasoning, if you like, and serve.

SUSHI RICE
Sushi rice is the basis for sushi! The author of "Sushi for Wimps" suggests that cooking it yourself on the stove is preferred to using a rice maker. I must admit, I didn't "fan the rice" more than a minute or two, but I did mix the mixture regularly until cool. One day I'll have the patience to follow the recipe exactly, until then, I'll feel okay about taking a short cut or two. (the yield is approximate but it's enough for a sushi dinner). A simple recipe for "sushi vinegar" can be found here: http://www.food.com/recipe/sushizu-sushi-vinegar-522874.

Steps:
- To Cook the Rice.
- Place rice in a heavy-bottomed pot and rinse with running water.
- Drain rice.
- Add the 4 cups of water and soak for 30 minutes.
- Cover with a tight-fitting lid and bring to a boil.
- Keep cooking on high heat for 15 minutes with lid on.
- Lower heat to a minimum and cook covered for 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat, remove lid, and let sit undisturbed for 5 minutes.
- To Cool and Mix the Rice:.
- Transfer the hot rice to a large shallow bowl, discarding any hard grains around the sides or bottom. Pour the sushi vinegar over the rice.
- Now we want the temperature of the rice to cool down quickly so that the grains of rice don't get too sticky. To do that, fan the rice (today an electric fan on medium speed often replaces the paper fan.).
- As you cool down the rice, use a wooden paddle to gently but constantly fold the mixture, just as you would if you were folding whipped egg whites into a cake batter. Don't stop until the rice cools down to room temperature, or you'll have to use your sushi rice for cement.

SUSHI RICE
Sushi rice is the heart of sushi and the vinegar should add a tartness to the rice and give a nod to the humble beginnings of sushi before it became what we know it as today. This is a simple, straightforward recipe for basic sushi vinegar and sushi rice. There are countless variations with differing amounts of salt and sugar and other additions which flavor the seasoned vinegar chefs call sushi-su. Different vinegars affect the flavor of the finished sushi and vinegar recipes vary by region. This one contains a multi-purpose version for sushi-su that can be used as a base for pickling brine or salad dressing as well.

Steps:
- For the seasoned vinegar: Heat the vinegar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until just steaming (it will be about 100 degrees F). Do not boil the vinegar. Remove from the heat.
- Add the sugar and 2 teaspoons salt and whisk until dissolved. Add the dashi kombu if using.
- For the rice: Rinse the rice in a large bowl under cold running water until the water runs clear, about 5 minutes. While rinsing, gently agitate the rice with your hands to wash off extra starch. Drain the rice in a fine-mesh colander.
- If using a rice cooker, set to the "white rice" or "sushi rice" setting; do not use the "quick cook" setting. Add the rinsed and drained rice and 1 1/3 cups of water to the cooker, gently move from side to side to evenly settle the rice and press start. If using the stove method: Add the rinsed and drained rice and 1 1/3 cups of water to a medium pot. Gently move the pot from side to side to evenly settle the rice. Put a piece of aluminum foil over the top of the pot before placing the lid on to create a tight seal. Bring to a boil over high heat (it is best to lower the heat just before it boils, when it begins to steam).
- Lower the heat to low and steam the rice for 25 minutes; do not open the lid. Remove the rice from the heat and let sit covered for 10 minutes more.
- Removed the dashi kombu from the seasoned vinegar if using. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and immediately sprinkle the vinegar mixture evenly over the hot rice (see Cook's Note). Using a rice paddle or spatula, gently cut the vinegar mixture into the rice and alternately fold the rice so vinegar doesn't pool on the bottom of the bowl. Make sure the vinegar is evenly distributed throughout the rice.
- Spread the rice in a baking dish and let sit until it is cool enough to handle and sticks together in a ball, 5 to 10 minutes. Use the rice within 2 hours or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 day. You can use the rice at room temperature or gently reheat it using the "warm" function on a rice cooker.
HOME-STYLE "SUSHI" OVER RICE (CHIRASHIZUSHI)
*Courtesy of Amy Kaneko, author of Let's Cook Japanese Food!* "Mastering the art of creating traditional nigiri sushi (small pads of rice topped with raw fish) is best left to those who are willing to devote several years to intensive study and apprenticeship. Japanese eat sushi in restaurants or buy it from take-out establishments. Chirashizushi is simply sushi toppings scattered over a bowl of sushimeshi. The taste is similar to the sushi you eat in restaurants but is much easier to prepare. The idea is to make the dish both look pretty and taste good. Toppings can vary based on the fresh sushi-grade fish available to you." - from Amy Kaneko, author of Let's Cook Japanese Food (https://www.amazon.com/Lets-Cook-Japanese-Food-Authentic/dp/1681881772)

Steps:
- To prepare the toppings, in a bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons rice vinegar and 1 teaspoon of the sugar until the sugar is dissolved. If using shrimp, fill a saucepan with salted water and bring to a boil. Add the shrimp, cook until pink and beginning to curl, about 3 minutes, then drain. When cool enough to handle, slice each in half lengthwise. Add the shrimp to the vinegar mixture and marinate up to 1 hour. If using crabmeat and/or surimi, marinate in the vinegar mixture as well.
- Cut the cucumber in half crosswise, then cut into paper-thin matchsticks 1-2 inches long. Cube the avocados, place in a bowl, and toss with rice vinegar to prevent browning. Have ready a bowl of ice water. Blanch the snow peas in boiling water for 1 minute, drain, immerse in the ice water, drain again, and slice diagonally into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- ln a bowl, beat the eggs with a fork or chopsticks until well blended. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon sugar and a pinch of salt and stir until the sugar dissolves. In a 10-inch nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat, warm the oil. When the oil is hot, pour in the egg mixture and swirl to cover the bottom of the pan. Cook, gently lifting the edges to let the uncooked egg flow underneath, until the bottom is set but not browned and the top is relatively dry, 4-5 minutes. Carefully slide the eggs out of the pan onto a flat plate and blot with a paper towel. Let cool, then cut into fine bite-sized shreds called kinshi tamago (shredded omelet topping). Set aside.
- To prepare the mushrooms, in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine 2 cups water, the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the mushrooms and cook until the liquid is greatly reduced and the mushrooms are thoroughly flavored but not burned, 15-20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely in the liquid, then remove from the liquid and thinly slice them. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sushi rice: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt and stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Place the hot cooked rice in a large shallow bowl, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the warm vinegar mixture evenly over the hot rice and, using a wooden rice spatula or wooden spoon, mix in the vinegar, repeatedly cutting down into the rice, turning it over to season it evenly, and mixing until well combined. Let cool to room temperature.
- Mix the mushrooms into the cooled rice, distributing them evenly, and divide the rice mixture among 4 bowls. Divide evenly and decoratively arrange the seafood, omelet shreds, salmon (if using), cucumber, avocado, and snow pea toppings on the rice and garnish with yakinori and sesame seeds. Serve at room temperature (chilling hardens the rice) with small individual bowls for soy sauce and wasabi (if using) into which to dip the toppings.
