Rice is easy to cook if you have a saucepan with a lid! Once you achieve this, making your own sushi is not a dream.

Method

Prep

30min

Cook

15min

1 Gou is equal to 180ml (approx 150g dry weight - when it absorbs the water, the weight would be approximately 340g)

This is what it looks like in a measuring jug.

And this is what it looks like in a standard mug.

Put the rice in a saucepan. Add fast flowing tap water and then pour it out.

Add more fast flowing tap, pour it out and stir the rice with the thumb and first two fingers.

Add more tap water then pour out the whitened water. Stir the rice again with the thumb and two fingers.

Pour out all the water and add 220ml water. Put the lid on and leave for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, boil on a high heat.

As soon as it boils, turn down immediately to a low heat and cook for about 8 minutes.

After 8 minutes, switch off the gas and leave for 10 minutes.

Itadakimasu! Enjoy!

Tips & Note

It is said that rice cooks well in soft water. In the UK, many Japanese housewives cook with Volvic bottled water. I tried using Ashbeck, which is ultra-soft bottled water, but the rice became very dry, so perhaps over-soft water is also not good for cooking rice.
