Sushi Rice In A Rice Cooker Food

EASY SUSHI RICE (IN RICE COOKER)

Steps:

• Put rice and water into rice cooker (put rice in first, then add water until the 3 mark on the cooker is reached). Push button to start cooking. When done, button will pop up and light change to "warm.".
• Let the rice sit in the cooker without opening the lid for about 15 minutes to complete steaming.
• Put rice into non-reactive bowl (glass, stainless steel, wood, etc -- ), pour sushi vinegar over rice and toss gently with rice paddle to mix vinegar into rice. Note: please be gentle so you do not mash the grains of rice. Also, each grain should have been coated with the vinegar and achieve a shinny sheen, add more as needed).
• Fan the rice to cool as you are mixing in the vinegar.
• Use in rolls, sushi or to accompany sashimi.

MAKI SUSHI RICE (RICE COOKER)

Steps:

• Rinse the rice well under running water, put it in the bowl of your rice maker.
• Add the amount of water required by the rice maker. In mine, 2 1/2 cups of rice is 4 measures of the rice cooker "cup", so I fill up the bowl until the "4" marker on the side of the bowl.
• Put the rice cooker on "Cook".
• Meanwhile, mix up the dressing by combining all remaining ingredients. Stir well to dissolve the sugar and the salt.
• Once the rice cooker has finished cooking, let it sit on 'Heat' for 5 minutes.
• Take out the rice cooker bowl and sit it on a trivet on your benchtop. Grab a friend with a handheld fan or set up an electric fan a little way away from the bowl. Take the dressing and a small plastic rice paddle, and pour a little of the dressing in a spiral pattern over the rice (starting from the outside).
• Using the rice paddle, lightly stir/mix the rice while your friend fans the rice (or you have the fan on low). Continue in this fashion until all of the dressing is used, the rice is cool and glossy.
