Sushi Rice
Sushi rice, also known as uruchimai or shari, is a short-grain Japanese rice variety prized for its ability to form firm, sticky clumps ideal for sushi-making. Originating in Japan, it has become a staple in East Asian cuisine. The rice has a subtly sweet and slightly tangy flavor profile, thanks to the traditional seasoning of vinegar, sugar, and salt added post-cooking. Its texture is soft and glossy, with a pleasant chewiness that holds together well when shaped. When cooking, sushi rice requires precise rinsing to remove excess starch, followed by careful steaming to achieve the desired consistency. Its unique properties allow it to absorb flavors while maintaining structure, making it indispensable in sushi and beyond.
