Basic Sushi Rice

 

 

1 cup sushi rice

1/4 cup sushi seasoning (see note)

 

 

1. Rinse and drain rice 3 times or until water runs clear. Place rice

a strainer. Drain for 10 minutes.

 

2. Place rice and 1 cup cold water in saucepan over medium heat. Cover

and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, for 12

minutes or until rice has absorbed water. Remove from heat. Stand,

covered for 10 minutes.

 

3. Transfer to a large ceramic dish. Stir rice with a plastic spatula

to break up lumps.

 

4. Gradually add seasoning while lifting and turning rice until rice

is almost cold.

 

 

 

NOTE: To season my rice I use 8 teaspoons rice vinegar, 6 teaspoons

sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt per every cup of rice.

Hi Shez,

 

From a quick Google I think Lebanese cucumbers may be the same as

Mediterranean cucumbers. They are small, with thinner skins and fewer

and smaller seeds. When a recipe calls for Lebanese cucumbers, which

seem to be very popular in Australian recipes at the moment, I

normally just use the English because that's what I have in the fridge.

 

Here's a pic of a Lebanese up against some other types:

I'm constantly amazed by the language differences in two English

speaking countries.
