Sushi rice (uncooked)
Sushi rice is short-grain white rice seasoned with a mixture of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt after cooking, giving it a sticky texture and a subtly sweet, tangy flavour essential to Japanese sushi. Its high starch content makes it naturally sticky once cooked, allowing it to hold its shape when formed and rolled. It is typically rinsed thoroughly before cooking to remove excess surface starch.
Measured before cooking, while the ingredient hasn't yet absorbed water or changed texture.
