Cooking rice for sushi correctly is an asterisked task for many housewives. In the process of cooking, you need to pay attention to the type of cereal, the proportions with water, and choose the right utensils.

Therefore, the blog advises to choose a conventional multicooker or a pressure cooker for cooking. In the first case, the rice will be cooked in 25-30 minutes, and in the second - in about 10 minutes. After all, in a saucepan, the cereal often sticks to the bottom, which spoils the overall texture of the rice.

Before cooking, be sure to rinse the rice with cold water until it becomes clear. In terms of proportions, 1:1.25 (rice:water) is considered optimal.
