Can you please explain one thing to me...we buy short grain or medium grain rice for the starch content, but then we wash the starch of before cooking. What's the logic behind that? Is there too much starch if the rice is not washed? What happens when you do not wash the rice?

I have tried making sushi rice twice and for some reason it hasn't come out right. I went to a sushi class at a local market and it was delicious. I had watched multiple other videos and there's always slightly different techniques and measurements. I'm ready to try again and this time I googled "how to make sushi rice the straight forward and easy way" and your video came up. I love that you shared the ratio for for the sushi vinegar. I'm going to give it another go with your method and I'm feeling confident it will be right this time!

🍣 ABOUT
Very helpful.
Many people associate sushi with raw fish but it’s actually the rice that is the heart and soul of sushi, the word itself means sour (vinegar) rice. So learning how to make sushi rice correctly is obviously crucial if you want to learn how to make sushi. In this video, I teach you step-by-step on how to make sushi rice from scratch. And I use a regular pot on the stove so there’s no rice cooker required. I also share my simple recipe on how to make traditional sushi vinegar. After you’ve followed my instructions in this video, you will be able to make traditional restaurant quality sushi rice anytime from your own home!

I just made sushi for the first time! I followed your directions for the rice and it came out so well! My husband said that these rolls were as good as any he’d had at a restaurant! I made what would’ve cost us at least $150 at a restaurant and the ingredient costs were nothing compared to that! No more restaurant sushi because we can have it at home now! Thank you!

🍣 ABOUT THE SUSHI MAN:
We made our first sushi day today, based on your tutorials. It was delicious, and they turned out much better as I thought they would 😊 So thank you for your guidance!
Jun Nakajima, CHEF AND FOUNDER
Raised in a restaurant household, Jun's love for food began at a very early age. His parents have owned and operated a Japanese restaurant for over 30 years where he practiced and honed his culinary skills.
I dont have a hungiri, but I have hungry after watching this.
Somewhat forced upon, he was taught the art of sushi making in his teenage years. He quickly fell in love not only with the art but the endless opportunities that came with it.
He has traveled around the globe to try different styles of sushi, most importantly to Japan.
I'm a newbie from Israel. I have Japanese rice and a 1.8-liter mechanical rice cooker. What advice would you give me? The same 1:1,1 ratio, 20 minutes after rinsing, then boiling with heating. I'd love to hear your advice. I want to make some sushi rolls on Saturday. Best regards. I'm writing through a translator.
After college, Jun had taken an opportunity to live in the motherland of sushi, working for something completely outside the culinary field. In those two years his appreciation of the culture, people, history and food deepened.
He became addicted to the food scene and found himself traveling from one end of the island to the other, eating and drinking some of the best foods and drinks he's ever had. This experience became the seed which eventually bloomed to become The Sushi Man.

@thesushiman (from your 88 y o new subscriber, beginner): Am already hooked on your excellent videos and just placed an order for your beautiful hardcover sushi book, My organic sushi rice is nearly finished cooking in the Zojirushi, mixed up the tuna combo late last night, extra thin carrot sticks are ready and cooling. I have a very helpful rice washing/straining bowl that works great so there’s less chance of too much water before cooking. Cooked a half recipe of the rice for a small sushi batch. Domo arigato for the great video.

can you make this in advance and have it taste good?
@MedickepThank you sushi man!!
@maypuratadollartCan we use other bowls or does it have to be wood
@leylac5534It worked thx
@lujain_8Absolutely the best .. I now know how to make rice properly. Thank you
@angelikagazin410I love this man, I watched the old video and now I'm watching again the new version 😍
@Grogy2512What if you don’t have a rice measuring cup
@djsandow741Good afternoon. I wanted to know if there is a bag of rice that I can buy at Walmart or Publix that you can suggest to make sushi rice?
@MrGrevyThis was so helpful, thank you. WQould you reccomend buying a rice cooker. if so which one would you suggest.
@BellaDrysdale-t9oYou could've washed the rice in the sieve, that's what I do.
@jacekpaszkowski2000Thanks for the videos but i spoke to a japanese sushi guy at a local supermarket while watching him make sushi rolls. He said do not use sugar, just the rice vinegar and some salt so a bit confusing on what is best?
@stevesimmons382Hi, can I use apple cider vinager instead of rice vinager?
@hakandermanci3026I subscribed. Curious, how many years are you in the US? Your English is very good
@fjckfamShould I still let the rice soak in water for 20 minutes if I’m using a rice cooker?
@ProtostarzOMG! The best sushi rice i’ve actually made! ❤Thank you!❤
@gravlejs6No recipe? Sorry, not going to finish this video because what good is it without the recipe?
@SA-hf3fuWhy on earth would you not use grams for measuring everything including the dry rice and water?!? Using volumetric measurements is insane and basically meaningless.
@ZiusudraRascalGreat video. Giving it a try at home for the first time.
How many rolls will this amount make?
Is part of the recipe putting that god damn paw of open bleeding wounds in the rice holy shit that's disgusting.
@DBARN1956-og1ifI can use Persian rice?
Ok, I will.
Video so so so long for making the rice you got me bored
@LenaPapoujianAs an Uzbek with huge part of our culinary tradition being Uzbek palov, I see so many similarities in how you process the rice. Rakhmat, uhsta! (thank you, Master/Teacher)
@uzbekuncleI liked this instructional video. Simple. Notes are being displayed on the screen, which are really helpful.
My culture is far away from sushi culture, but because I love sushi - the one that has avocado, smoked salmon, cream cheese, hot sauce, and sesame seeds - decided to learn and be able to learn and do it at home.
Thank you
Wow, great pro tips!
@darrenengram5503can i make this in a rice cooker?
@kimpy26🤮 ((2:30))) you used your open wounds hand to swish the rice. That’s disgusting. 🤢
@KaleEmino02134Could i store the rice for later use or do i make it every time
@xenoxzypher6678❤❤❤❤
@premshrestha1990New Sub here. Your videos are great.
@icewolf371Great tutorial!
Quick question, on the table of measurements for the seasoning ratios etc, it mentions that 2 rice cooker cups should make about 5 rolls, is this using half cut nori or full size? Having a little trouble getting the right amount of rice per roll
Perfect rice thank you
@menkros1I don’t have sushi oke, what can I use? Help?
@WithGoodIntentionSoooo boring
@YasminJafari-j8nThat perfect table at 5:20 is the reason why I always come back to this video when making sushi rice
Yea I can screen shot it, but then where is paying respect to the creator
Leaving video to run 31 sec after I'm done with it just to add one more view :)
