Cheryl's Kitchen: Sushi Making

This is my 3rd time making sushi.
Isn't that difficult but lot of time needed.
Never use normal rice to make your sushi.

Vinegar For the rice.

Ingredients needed for the Sushi Rice:
3 cups Japanese rice
    3 1/4 cups water
    1/3 cup rice vinegar
    3 Tbsp sugar
    1 tsp salt

Cook the Japanese Rice with 3 1/4 cups of Water.
Mix 1/3 cup rice vinegar + 3 Tbsp sugar + 1 tsp salt after the rice is cooked.

You can put alittle more Vinegar.
Just try it and see if you need more vinegar.
I usually put slightly more.

Dashi Stock!
Very important for Japanese Dish.
Use it for Chawanmushi

Ingredients needed for the Chawanmushi:
3 eggs
2 cup dashi soup stock (2 Pack of Dashi)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp sugar

Crab Stick/Chicken

Lightly beat eggs in a large bowl. Try not to bubble the eggs.
Add cool dashi soup stock, soy sauce, salt, and sugar in egg mixture gradually.
Put chicken/Crab Stick the bowl.
Fill the bowl with the egg mixture.
Use a clean cloth to cover the lid before covering the pot.
Place a chopstick to prevent the lid from covering fully.
Steam for a few minutes on high heat.
Turn down the heat to low and steam for about 10-15 minutes, or until done.
Poke a chopstick in the chawamushi and if clear soup comes out, it's done.
