You can use any kind of avocado for this dish, but you want to use just ripened fruit that's still pretty firm.To make the sushi rice, just make one cup of uncooked rice according to package instructions and fold in sushi rice seasoning vinegar in the amount suggested on the bottle - it's usually something like 4 to 5 Tablespoons per 2 cups of uncooked rice, so you'd just halve that if you're only making 1 cup - right after you fluff the rice, while it's still warm. That way, the seasoning soaks in better.One cup of uncooked rice will actually yield 2 to 3 servings, FYI, but it's kinda tricky cooking rice in fractions of cups because the water evaporates much more quickly.If you have some leftover steamed rice (brown or white), you can take a cup of it, cover it with a slightly damp paper towel, microwave it until warm, and fold in 2 teaspoons of sushi seasoning vinegar.You can double the avocado topping recipe if you want to make 2 servings.It's good to go meatless from time to time! :)

This recipe was handed down to me by my mother. If you make sushi vinegar to stock, as long as the sugar and salt have dissolved there's no need to let it rest for a day. If making the sushi vinegar on the spot for one batch of sushi rice (3 rice cooker cups' worth) you need 80 ml of rice vinegar, 2 to 3 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt. The rice should be just the right sweetness. Microwave the sushi vinegar to dissolve the sugar and salt (about 20 seconds).Step 1: Cook the rice so that it's on the firm side.Step 3: Use the rice after it's cooled down a bit. If cooking 2 rice cooker cups, use 7 cm of konbu seaweed and 50 to 60 ml of sushi vinegar. While you should drain off the rice in a sieve before cooking it, it will still taste good if you just cook it right after rinsing it. It's fine to omit the kombu. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

I've written this home-made sushi rice recipe down for my daughter.The trick is to cook the rice using less water than usual! When you add vinegar to the freshly cooked rice, it absorbs the vinegar and becomes soft.I use less water than the measurement marked on the rice cooker for making "hard rice". Add water until it's a little below the "hard rice" line. Recipe by Hiromanma

When I see the instructions for making sushi rice on vinegar bottle labels, I'm shocked. Do you really need so much sugar and salt?! I don't want to take in too much salt, so I adjusted the amounts. By making a proper kombu based dashi stock, the rice will still be tasty with a reduced amount of sugar and salt.Use a good tasting brand of vinegar, and be sure to add all the sugar and salt that sinks to the bottom to the rice when you mix.When you don't have time, just cook the rice with the kombu. For 2 rice cooker cups' worth, or enough for 3 futomaki (fat sushi rolls). Recipe by Kichiri-monja

Easy sushi rice that taste's great by it's self or made into sushi rolls!

Okayama, where I live, is famous for chirashi sushi (barazushi)... so my mother and grandmother used to make sushi a lot when I was growing up. This is a recipe they perfected by learning from the pros and adjusting it to their liking. We make it like this with this ingredient ratio in our house. This is also a memo for myself.※Add the salt when you cook the rice.This sushi rice is not so sweet and has an accentuated vinegar flavor. It will taste just right when you add other ingredients for chirashi sushi, sushi rolls and so on. If you prefer a sweeter tasting sushi rice, you can add more sugar.※Don't use a wooden sushi oke (barrel); just use a large Tupperware container or a bowl (a big one with a lid) to mix the rice.※The vinegar will sink into the rice better if you warm it up beforehand.※Once you mix the vinegar in, let the rice steam so that the vinegar flavor settles in for a better end result.

I made this light sushi rice with a slightly strong vinegar taste and some salt, so that it would go well in a hand roll.Use freshly cooked rice, which should be on the slightly harder side (use the same amount or 1 to 1.1 times the amount of rice). Recipe by ryueru
