SUSHI ROLLS

SERVES 4

INGREDIENTS:

4 cups California short grain rice–cooked

SEASONING:

3/4 cup rice vinegar

4 tbsp sugar

1 1/2 tbsp salt

1 tsp dashi stock powder

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a bowl, mix all seasoning ingredients and set aside.

2. Place the cooked rice in a large mixing bowl, sprinkle one third of the seasoning over the rice. Quickly and lightly cut and fold the rice on itself with a wooden rice paddle. Do not stir or beat the rice as this breaks the grains. Fan the rice to cool it during the time you are blending the rice with the cut and fold motion. Continue this process by adding the remaining seasoning little by little. Avoid making the rice too gooey.

3. Cover the mixing bowl with a damp paper towel and set aside for later use.
