Short-grain sushi rice 20 kg

The rice is what holds a good sushi roll together. These short, round grains become supple and sticky when cooked, making them well suited to rolled sushi and hand-shaped pieces. Grown in Italy, this rice also works in rice puddings and other desserts where a soft, cohesive texture is welcome.

For sushi nights and busy kitchens

Use for sushi rolls with your choice of vegetables, fish or seafood, or season for rice bowls. The 20 kg pack suits restaurants, caterers and kitchens that prepare rice regularly.

How to cook
Rinse the rice 3–4 times in cold water, until the water runs clear. For 4 cups of rice, add approximately 4–4.5 cups of water. Cover and bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and cook for 15–20 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave for 5 minutes, then gently stir and allow to cool for a further 10 minutes.

Seasoning for sushi
Mix ½ cup of rice vinegar with 2 tablespoons of sugar and 2 teaspoons of salt. Gently fold the mixture into the cooked rice with a wooden spatula. Alternatively, use a ready-made sushi rice seasoning.
