Cooking Rice Mt Fuji Way Recipes

COOKING RICE MT. FUJI WAY

Steps:

• Put the palm of your hand flat on the surface of the rice and add water until the water touches the knuckle of your middle finger. You now have enough water to cook your rice. I have no idea why, but this method has worked with every size of rice cooker I've ever used, and every (adult) size of hand I've ever seen... it works when I just wash whatever rice is left in the bag, toss it in the pot, and fill. It's also great for sanity checking when you can't remember whether you washed three or four cups of rice or what.
• Cover pan or rice cooker. If cooking on stove bring to a boil and then lower heat to lowest setting possible. Continue cooking for 20 minutes. Fluff rice before serving.

MASTER SUSHI RICE

Steps:

• Wash rice at least 3 times or until water is clear. Fill rice cooker or casserole with water to about 1-inch over rice or use Mt Fuji method. I highly recommend a rice cooker - more than 2 billion people use them in Asia for a reason. Slowly heat vinegar, mirin and sugar until very hot but not boiling. Fold in 'su' (vinegar and sugar) with the hot rice, add enough so that the rice has a tart/sweet taste. Rice should be shiny, not mushy. Carefully clean bowl with damp cloth, cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
