First step in sushi making is geting the rice just right.
Here's my recipe:
2 cups of medium grain calrose rice.
Rince until water runs clear.
Add 2 cups of water and cook Rice in pot (I dont like using a rice cooker as it never comes out good IMO).
On the side, mix 3 tablespoons (TB) of Rice Vinegar, 2 TB of white sugar and 1 TB of salt.
Add the vinegar solution on cooling rice, stir well (I add a bit more of either vinegar, sugar or salt depending on the taste).
Cool for 30 minutes.
I personally like a mild, sweet tasting rice. Some folks add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of Rice Vinegar which I feel makes it taste too sour.
Cheers, K
PS- possibly making sushi this weekend so I'll try to take some pics
