As a sushi enthusiast, one of the most frustrating moments when cooking sushi is when a batch of sushi rice goes terribly wrong. Regardless of the texture, or refuses to hold its shape at the mere thought of being handled, managing rice in sushi-making can be a major challenge even for the most skilled chefs. Using the right techniques, you'll be able to master the art of handling sushi making rice in no time.
First and foremost, it's absolutely essential to understand that sushi rice needs to be handled gently with care to avoid breaking down its starches and causing it to become excessively sticky. When you first start working with sushi rice, it's crucial to take a few extra moments to spotlessly clean the rice to remove excess starch and impurities before cooking it. This helps to remove any excess starch and impurities that can affect the texture of the final product.
