Sushi Rice Instructions (Sushi Kit for Two)

What You’ll Use From the Kit (For Sushi Rice)

From your Svenfish Sushi Kit:

• 0.75 lb (1.5 cups) sushi rice

• Svenfish Seasoned Rice Vinegar (use 2 oz / ¼ cup for this batch)

You’ll need at home:

• 2 cups (475 mL) water

• Medium pot with lid or rice cooker

• Strainer/colander (for rinsing)

• Wide bowl (for mixing)

• Rice paddle or large spoon (wood or plastic)

Directions:

1. Rinse the rice
   Rinse sushi rice under cold water until the water runs mostly clear. Strain well.

2. Cook
   Add rice + 2 cups (475 mL) water to a pot.
   Bring to a boil → cover → reduce to low and cook 15 minutes.

3. Rest
   Turn off heat and let rest 10 minutes (keep covered).

4. Season (key step)
   Transfer hot rice to a wide bowl. Slowly pour in 2 oz (¼ cup) Svenfish Seasoned Rice Vinegar while mixing with a rice paddle or large spoon using gentle “cutting” + “folding” motions (don’t mash).

5. Cool before rolling
   Let rice cool to room temperature (about 10–15 minutes) before making rolls.
