Sushi Rice
The sushi rice, once seasoned with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, is called shari. The rolled sushi that I make in this video is called makizushi. Sushi refers to anything that is combined with shari . . . I'm pretty sure. Anyway, about that rice.
Traditionally, the sushi rice is washed until the water runs clear. This removes extra starch on the rice. The brand of rice I buy says in big letters "Washing not necessary" so I follow the rules and don't wash it, thereby saving time and water. Give yours a rinse before cooking if you can't find any directive against its necessity on the package.
Once the rice is cooked, you spread it out on a platter and add your seasoned rice vinegar a couple of spoonfuls at a time. Then gently fold the rice over with a wooden paddle or wooden spoon and spread it out again. Keep adding spoonfuls of vinegar and gently folding it in to the rice until it tastes good (about 3-4 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar per 2 cups of cooked sushi rice). It should taste good enough to eat all by itself. Durn good. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature before making the sushi rolls.
