This review is more for the seasoned vinegar than for the entire recipe. I had already cooked the rice using a similar recipe (without the kelp) and needed to have a recipe for seasoned vinegar for sushi rice. This didn't disappoint! It is really good and is a keeper! Thanks for posting it, Birdy!

Thanks for posting this! I'm a real knucklehead when it comes to rice making, but the directions here were so precise that my sushi rice turned out wonderful.....very flavorful and with just the right texture.

first let me say, i live in rural montana, so finding sushi rice wasn't going to happen. so i used basmati since my mom said it was sticky rice. second, i had no idea what mirin is, so after looking it up on the internet i substatuted 1 tbsp whiskey and 1 tbsp blush wine. everything else i did just like you said. it came out wonderfully. i was making california rolls for the first time and they came out great! thanks for the great recipe!

Very good, just made a half-batch of it. Next time I"ll use just a touch more water.

My husband and I made sushi for the first time ever using your recipe and it turned out FABULOUS! I found the directions easy to follow and resulted in perfect sushi rice! We made some California Rolls with imitation crab and avacado and also made some using grilled salmon that we had on hand. We also made wasabi (from powder) and purchased Gari from the Asian food isle in our local supermarket. All in all I must say that this was AWESOME! We even got our children to taste the rolls! Both enjoyed them even though one of our children is not a big rice fan.

Very good, very easy. Of course I used rice cooker, making it even easier. Some other recipes ask for too much vinegar and sugar, making the rice very wet. This, however, is perfect for maki rolls.

I followed the recipe exactly and this is the best Sushi rice ever. With a little practice a novice can look like a professional. The rice holds together beautifully so making Maki rolls is easy. Use Calrose rice for perfect sushi rice everytime!

Awesome! I used regular long grain rice, and made onigiri (Japanese rice balls) out of it. I found that dipping my hands in warm salt water between each onigiri prevented the rice from sticking to my hands.

I have been making this recipe for a while now and it is always wonderful for my sushi or any other japanese dish I've made! If you're only making 1/2 a recipe make sure you cut down the cooking time or you will end up with some browned rice on the bottom of the pot which won't be good for rolling sushi!

I've been searching for a sushi rice recipe that I liked, and I've found it here!! I used the exact amounts, and it came out perfectly. However, I didn't let it drain for an hour because I didn't have enough time, and it came out delicious, with the perfect texture.
