TIPS

• Always prepare the rice one hour before preparing the sushi.

• Don't rinse rice in a strainer, pouring and wasting water. A better way is to rinse the rice in a bowl with a strainer.

• Remember to let the rice cool thoroughly before placing it on the nori sheets. This will prevent the nori sheets from becoming rubbery and stringy when eaten.

• Prepare a small bowl filled with water and a little vinegar for soaking. This will prevent the rice from sticking to the knife or your hands.

A method of preparing

1. Place a strainer on the edge of a large, deep bowl. Pour in the rice and pour cold water over it until it's covered. Rinse the rice by rotating your hand. Repeat this process until the water you rinsed the rice runs clear.

2. Pour rinsed rice into the pot in the proportion (1 cup of rice to 1 cup of water).

3. Cook the rice covered over low heat for about 10 minutes.

4. Leave the rice for 10-15 minutes without removing the cover so that it absorbs the water completely.

5. Pour the rinsed rice into a bowl in portions measured using a container (e.g. a glass).

6. Add 3 tablespoons of sushi sauce to 1 cup of rice, then mix the ingredients.

7. Let the rice cool and prepare your favorite sushi.
