  • No need for a special rice, I used some unlabeled short grain that has been in the pantry for a long time lol. I’m not saying I never buy glutinous Japonica rice, but it’s expensive and I’m turbo cheap.

    To season the rice I just used a commercially available seasoned rice vinegar (rice vinegar, sugar, salt, kelp, yeast extract) and I also added mirin. That’s a very lazy and easy method but I’ve also made my own seasoning in a sauce pan to dissolve the sugar. I think the key components are vinegar, salt, sugar and mirin so if you find a recipe like that you’re probably good. I learned to make sushi from home when I was a teen from a cookbook - I’ve been winging it for like 20 years since then, lol.

    I’ve never cooked the rice with the seasoning and I think you would risk burning it because of the sugar. I made my rice in the rice cooker, then drizzled the seasoning on and used a paddle to incorporate.

    I hope you try it out! Even if you just eat it in a bowl instead of making rolls it’s delicious and quite easy to make at home.
