Sushi Chef® Sushi Rice is premium, M401, medium grain rice that has been crafted for sushi and a variety of other rice dishes. This particular strain of rice was developed as an improvement over other varieties of medium grain rice. It has a slightly larger kernel and a creamier center, both of which lend Sushi Chef® Rice its pleasing texture and slightly sweet taste. Premium rice also has a longer maturing cycle and lower yield than other rice. Because it is so difficult to grow, this rice is highly prized.
- Sushi Chef® has been providing Japanese ingredients of the highest quality for over 30 years. It is their mission to bring the beauty, health, and fun of Japanese cooking to every home with the healthiest and most authentic ingredients available.
- For best results, use an electric rice cooker. Typically, when using a rice cooker, the ratio of rice to water is 1:2, but consult your rice cooker's operating instructions. Because Sushi Chef® Rice has been polished with water (rather than chemicals) and all the impurities have been removed, it is not necessary to wash the rice before it is used. However, rice should be dampened in a colander before use so that it plumps up without losing its flavor.
- If you are using a pot to cook your rice, the ratio of rice to water is about 1:1. Rice should cook for about 15 minutes with the top on. Be careful not to burn the rice--burnt rice is difficult to remove.
