Recipe for Japanese style sticky rice?

Question

Looking for a recipe for Japanese sticky rice. It' my hubby's fav.

Answer 1

Don't listen to all these stupid recipes. Just go buy yourself a bag of CALROSE rice. Equal parts h20 to rice.. TADA............................... use a rice cooker if you have one

Answer 2

This is the one I always use to make sushi, and it's turned out perfect everytime. I've never used the kelp leaf, just cause I can't find it around here. You can't use long-grain, and I think short-grain ends up too gluitinous. But medium? Just right.

2 cups sushi rice
2 cups water
4 tablespoons rice vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons mirin
kelp, leaf (optional)

1. Ignore the directions on the bag that the rice came from and rinse the rice only 3-5 times. The water does NOT have to run clear.
2. Place rice to drain in a strainer.
3. Drain for one hourin the winter, 30 min in the summer. (Sounds strange, but is true).
4. While rice is draining, combine vinegar,sugar, salt and mirin together in a bowl and mix well.
5. If using a kelp leaf,it should be about 2 in long
6. Wipe it lightly, cut small slits to make it look like a comb and add it to a pot along with the water.
7. Add rice to the pot.
8. Bring quickly to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.
9. Cover the pot and DON'T touch it until the end, NO PEEKING.
10. Cook for 15 minutes before removing the pot from the heat but keep the lid CLOSED.
11. Let rice rest for 10 min and then remove the cover.
12. Place in a glass dish to cool and fan the rice while adding the vinegar mixture. (It will get a sorta glossy look - Jes) Mix rice gently, being careful not to break it.
Sushi rice is best used at body temperature.

Steamed Rice Recipe - Japanese Recipe
From Setsuko Yoshizuka,



INGREDIENTS:
2 cups Japanese-style rice
2 1/4 cups water
PREPARATION:
Put the rice in a bowl and wash it with cold water. Repeat washing until the water becomes clear. Drain the rice in a colander and set aside. Place the rice in a pan or rice cooker and add water. The amount of water used is just a little more than the amount of rice.

Let the rice soak in the water at least 30 min. One hour is ideal.
*If you are cooking the rice in a pan, cover the pan with a lid and bring to a boil with hight heat. Turn the heat down very low and cook about 15-20 min. until the water is almost gone. Remove the pan from the heat and let it steam for 10-15 min before serving.

*If you are using an electric rice cooker, you don't have to worry about adjusting the heat. You still need to let the cooked rice steam before you open the lid.

Makes 4 servings.

Hope this Helps U

Answer 4

I think the secret is the kind of rice you are using, there are lots of different kinds. Oriental cooking uses mostly short grain rice that you have to get in a specialty store. I only see long grain or medium grain in local stores.

Japanese Rice Varieties: Japanese rice is short or medium-grain rice and is used for daily cooking. There is another kind of rice, called mochigome (sweet sticky rice), which is used to make rice cakes (mochi) or red rice (sekihan).
