Sushi-Su

Sushi-su is the seasoning you add to you sushi rice. It's basically a mix of rice vinegar, sugar and salt. I used to make my own sushi-su, by mixing 4 tbsp rice vinegar with 4 tbsp caster sugar, and one tsp of salt. They are best mixed in a warm saucepan, then left to cool. Then mix this with the cooled, cooked rice. This quantity will do about 500g (dry) of sushi rice.

My life changed however when I discovered the Mitsukan 'Seasoned rice vinegar' perfect.. It has a really pleasant sweet, vinegary flavour, and you simply add it straight from the bottle to the cooled, cooked rice. Just keep adding a little and tasting until your sticky rice is perfect!
