How to make Sushi Rice, The Proper Way by Chef Raymond

blog 4 020312Chef Raymond is a sushi chef who works in a sushi bar.  He has created a website, Sushivids.com, with recipes and instructions for making a wide variety of sushi dishes.  Here is his video tutorial for making sushi rice.

In this video, he shows how to wash the rice and a rule of thumb for measuring the proper water to rice ratio.  Many other chefs use a fan to cool the rice while they are drizzling the vinegar on to the rice.  Chef Raymond applies the vinegar to all of the rice at one time and uses a cutting technique with his wooden spoon to carefully expose the rice to air to let it dry and cool.

His techniques look to be easy with a little practice.
