How Can I make Sushi Rice,with regular rice, for California Rolls?

Question

How can I make Sushi Rice, without the Japanese Rice? Is Japanese Rice required for Sushi Rice? Or can I make it with just regular rice?

Answer 1

Japanese rice is stickier.  You might want to cook it a little longer, with a little more liquid, to get it mushier so that it will stick together

Answer 2

No.  Sushi rice is incredibly sticky and glutnous, which is desirable, no, required, for sushi to stick together.  Most stores carry sushi rice now... you need 2 parts sushi rice to 5 parts water.

Answer 3

You can actually buy  great rice at Trader Joes Market, it is for the Sushi rolls....  Have fun and YUMMMMO

Answer 4

Not as good but you can get away with it.  

Cook rice as usual and when done dump it in a large salad bowl, add rice vinegar and "cut the vinegar" into the rice. Don't stir it in as rice will mush up.  if you can, have a fan blowing on the rice to quickly cool it. This will give you the shine you want.  

Answer 5

BO, you need the sticky rice to do that.

Answer 6

Answer 7
