くまくま

Today's recipe is about Vinegared Rice.
巻き寿司
To cook a sushi roll, we need to prepare for Vinegared Rice.
The recipe is following,
ayaaya

コスモス Ingredients (serves 2 or 3 persons)

All of the white rice in my blog "How to cook Japanese rice with a pot"
4 Tbsps vinegar
3 Tbsps sugar
2/3 tsp salt
Vinegar-added water

If you have kobvu kelp, put 4-inch one into a pot when you cook Japanese rice in a pot.

But it's all right unless you have it.

コスモス Directions コスモス

1. Put the vinegar, sugar and salt into a small pot, and heat slightly until dissolved. Cook the vinegar dressing.

2. Transfer the rice without konbu kelp to a wooden sushi bowl. If you don't have it, you can use a normal bowl, but reduce the amount of vinegar dressing a little.

3.  Sprinkle the vinegar dressing all over the rice. Using a flat wooden spoon, toss and cut the rice while cooling it with a hand-fan.
When it's over, cover the rice with a clean cloth moistened with vinegar-added water.
注意 When you mix the vinegar dressing with rice, cutting motion is very important. Otherwise, the rice will become mushy.注意

If you can make sushi rice, you can arrange it to sushi roll, garnished sushi and of course hand-rolled sushi at home.

I will upload and show some kinds of Japanese sushi next time.

Please enjoy a sushi party at home!!

How to Cook Japanese Rice with a Pot


White Rice
I'd like you to cook Japanese Rice with a pot if possible.にこにこにこにこ
We use a rice cooker, but I wonder there might be people don't have it.ういんく
So I will show you how to cook it. This is the recipe who I taught to elementary school students in a cooking practice of home economics there. aya

We have cooking practices some times a year. 
学校
My working school starts to learn how to make Japanese tea and finishes their own packed lunch they want to eat and cook. 
エプロン
Cooking practices depend on each school's teachers. they decide what to teach.

コスモス Amount of Ingredient コスモス

1 1/2 U.S. cups rice  ( 2 Japanese rice cups )
400-450ml  water
コスモス How to wash rice コスモス

1. Fill a pot with cold water and add rice. Stir it quickly, and pour off the opaque liquid immediately.

2. Press the rice repeatedly 20 to 30 times with the palm to make the rice rub against each other. Fill the pot with fresh water and pour off the opaque water. Repeat this procedure a few times. It'll become clear.

3. Fill the rice  with fresh water in a pot and keep it as it is, 30 mins in summer and an hour in winter.


Rice become white when the water goes into rice.


コスモス How to cook rice コスモス


1. Drain on a sieve and place the rice with the amount of cold water in a pot.

2. Heat the pot with medium heat until the water is boiled.

3. Keep the medium heat for 3 mins, a little lower heat for 2 mins and low heat for 5 mins. 10 mins in total.

If you smell or sound something burned a little, you should turn down to low heat as soon as possible, even if you don't heat medium heat for enough time.
Please check that there seem to be no water in a pot and stop the heat.

4. When it's almost dry, keep the pot with its cover as it is for 10 mins.

Be careful not to overflow the water while cooking.
I advice you to use a deeper and bigger pot than a just sized one. 
注意

Good luckキラキラキラキラキラキラ
