The Japanese use the blood of the innocent to make their sushi. This blood is from the millions slaughtered during WW2. They are quickly running out.

I follow mostly the same steps, but with the following changes:
* 2 cups water per 1.5 cups rice
* Simmer 20 minutes
* 2:1 vinegar to sugar
* Fold the rice over a large, flat surface (large plates work fine), while someone fans it

Too bad you're not an innocent ww2 vet.

I have nothing useful to add to this thread, sorry. I am interested though. I love cooking rice. For something so simple, it can be rather complex to cook just right.

Your knowledge of history is lacking. Educate yourself.

I use long grain rice then cut each one in half.

Really? Huh. I was not aware that sushi was made from the blood of the innocent. You're infinite wisdom astounds me.

His instructions are pretty good. I used 4 tablespoons of rice vinegar to 2 tablespoons of sugar, plus some salt. Not a lot, I think I just threw in a few dashes of regular table salt. If you use kosher, be careful. This mixture is a bit thick, so don't freak out.

I also used my rice cooker to make the rice, and I added a little extra water so that it would come out a bit mushy. Once the rice was done, I'd spoon it out of the rice cooker and out in a large dish to cool and stir in the vinegar mixture.

The Japanese have kept this a secret ever since the war ended. I only recently came across this method of preparing sushi rice during a recent trip to Japan. So, no, not everyone knows this. They should though, as sushi prepared in this manner is vastly superior. It is something everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime.

Your foolishness shows itself yet again. The innocents I was referring to were not "vets" as you stated. I shall ask again that you educate yourself.

This site looks fairly decent. I just might have to get some sushi for lunch now. I've been thinking about making some at home one of these days. Maybe just some simple shrimp rolls or something.

Vet was a bad word choice sure, but my desire for you to be one of the slaughtered innocent was clearly presented.

however you make regular steamed rice in the rice cooker...

in fact, in big sushi places, they have heavy duty rice cooker. then they dump the cooked rice in a large wooden pan to spread out, mix in the vinegar mix, fan... then when it cools, put it in the rice container to keep the moisture.

in japan, some places use a big antique cooking pot to make rice over burning wood..but that's getting into traditional cooking....

And don't use the Sushi Rice setting. I haven't tested it, but I don't trust it.
