Sushi rice is a special type of short-grain rice that becomes sticky when cooked, making it ideal for sushi rolls and nigiri.

How do I cook sushi rice properly?

Rinse the rice several times, soak for 30 minutes, then cook using a 1:1.2 ratio of rice to water in a rice cooker or pot. Let rest for 10 minutes before seasoning.

What kind of vinegar is used for sushi rice?

Seasoned rice vinegar, which includes sugar and salt, is traditionally mixed into cooked sushi rice.

How much sushi rice do I need per person?

Plan on about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of uncooked sushi rice per person for sushi rolls.

Can I substitute other rice types for sushi rice?

For best results, use authentic sushi or short-grain Japanese rice, as other varieties won’t achieve the proper texture.

How do I season sushi rice?

Combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Pour over warm cooked rice and mix gently with a paddle or spatula while fanning.

What’s the purpose of rinsing sushi rice before cooking?

Rinsing removes excess starch for a less gummy, more polished texture.

Yes. Sushi rice can be made ahead and kept covered at room temperature for up to 4 hours.

How do I store leftover sushi rice?

Ideally, consume it the same day, but you can cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Reheat gently with a damp towel to restore texture.

How do I prevent sushi rice from getting too soggy or mushy?

Use the correct rice-to-water ratio and avoid overcooking or over-mixing.

It's not recommended, as the texture may change dramatically upon thawing.

How long does cooked sushi rice last?

At room temperature, up to 4 hours. In the fridge, up to 24 hours, though it may dry out.

How should sushi rice be served?

Let it cool slightly and use while slightly warm or at room temperature, never cold from the fridge.

Horrible salad, it's not salmon, it's garbage.
BreonicaBroussard
The quantity of this poke is a lot more than I thought it would be. I’m satisfied and will be purchasing more in the future.
tianchenghe
too much salt. I guess the seller is trying to preserve the meat longer. it tastes nothing but salty meat. not healthy and not going to buy again.
sksk
It was ready to use after thawing under running water. It was a generous portion, but quite salty. There was a slight fishy smell, so I mixed it with sesame oil before eating. I probably won't buy it again.
ivyh102013
The product is too salty; I won't buy it again.

Sure, this is smoked salmon, just cut into chunks instead of slices. If you don't mind the appearance, you can buy it. I prefer it cut into smaller pieces, so it goes very well with avocado rice.
weee.7909674
I received the goods and they seem pretty good. I'll put them in the freezer for now, and in a couple of days I plan to make a light meal with avocado.
tokyomama
It's packed with plenty of salmon poke. It's so convenient to be able to make a poke bowl so easily!
