Directions
Preparing Rice – Absorption method
- Rinse rice under cold water
- Place rice and 2 cups water in saucepan and bring to boil (if using brown rice add 2½ cups water)*
- Simmer uncovered for 12-15 minutes (30 minutes for brown rice), stirring occasionally until water is absorbed*
- Remove from heat, then cover and leave for 10 minutes
- Place rice in bowl and stir in sushi vinegar
- Allow rice to cool (you can speed the cooling process by covering a tray with foil and spreading rice over it to cool)
- Meanwhile, prepare fillings by washing and cutting vegetables, draining tuna or cooking asparagus and/or omelette (You can get the kids involved during this step using our Foost first or next knife)
Making Sushi Bowl
