If you think that only manual dexterity is enough to prepare perfect sushi and rolls, then you have never tried to do it in your own kitchen. In fact, there are a lot of other nuances that need to be dealt with. When it comes to rolling the rolls, most of the work is already done. The most important step is the choice of ingredients. In this, Japanese cuisine is extremely demanding. The success of the culinary experiment depends on this.
Correct rice for Japanese dishes
Many prefer to order Odessa rolls, and not prepare independently. After all, this is not only a time-consuming process, but also a rather expensive event. It is much easier to order ready-made sushi. The settlement of Kotovskogo, Tairovo, Bolshoi Fontan or Moldavanka - exoticism is available in all districts of Odessa.
Japanese recipes use very special ingredients that are difficult to find in ordinary supermarkets, and they cost more than what we are used to. You have to pay for the exotic.
Traditional Japanese rice is called hakumai. This variety is used by the inhabitants of the islands in their kitchens. You can also find sushik and kosi-khyri. It is easier to find an American version for sale - niches. This variety appeared a couple of hundred years ago. At first, it was so expensive that very few people could afford such a purchase. Only in the middle of the XNUMXth century, niches became available.
This variety is characterized by increased stickiness, which is important for rolls, and an impeccable shape. Ribs are round, no more than 5 millimeters in length. Nishiki absorbs moisture well, which makes it the most suitable for Japanese culinary masterpieces.
How to choose good rice?
When buying, pay attention to the date of manufacture. It is believed that this year's rice is not suitable for sushi. In the process of cooking, it becomes too sticky. Grains need to mature for at least a year.
Carefully inspect the contents of the package. Stripes should be:
-
white;
-
round;
-
even;
-
the same size;
-
without cracks, chips and stripes.
There is an opinion that it is possible to replace special rice with ordinary rice. But this is not the case if you want to cook a really tasty dish. Ordinary groats do not have sufficient stickiness, they are not able to absorb the spicy taste of rice vinegar and retain their shape. That's why sushi and rolls in Odessa prefer to order. Especially since it is so convenient with "Budusushi". Just choose a dish and indicate where the sushi will be delivered: "Raduzhny" or "Marshall City", any other Odessa restaurant. But if you still feel like experimenting, use our advice.
How to cook rice for the most delicious sushi?
The decision has been made, there is nowhere to retreat. We will prepare the best rolls in Odessa, and maybe even in Japan. Let's start
-
First of all, you need to wash the rice thoroughly. Drain the water 3-4 times until it becomes transparent. So you will get rid of excess starch.
-
Leave the rice to dry in a sieve - 10-15 minutes.
-
Then pour the rice into a saucepan and cover with water. A ratio of 1:1 is suitable for Japanese groats. American rice needs a little less water.
-
You can add Japanese baking powder. With it, the rice will become airy and light.
-
Leave the groats with water to stand for 10-15 minutes.
-
Put on high heat, bring to a boil.
-
Wait for the water to evaporate from the surface and rice to appear. Immediately reduce the heat to low. Leave to languish for 20-30 minutes.
-
Check readiness.
-
Turn off and leave covered for 10-15 minutes.
Hot rice should be seasoned with vinegar. The sauce can be mixed with sugar and salt. Japanese chefs use a special bowl made of Japanese cedar, but we can get by with an ordinary saucepan. Mix the rice with vinegar, let the sauce absorb. Then the cereal must be cooled quickly. The Japanese use a fan or fan for this. It looks like this: mix with one hand, fan with the other.
As you can see, the procedure is not easy. But this is only the first stage. Delivery of sushi is much more convenient and easier. Order at least now. "Budusushi" couriers will quickly deliver sushi. "7 Nebo", "Aquarelle", "Vernissage" - we serve all points of Odessa.
