HOW TO COOK JAPANESE RICE AND JAPANESE SUSHI RICE PLUS STORAGE IDEAS

Hi there

I have many friends over the years asking me how to cook Japanese rice, especially sushi rice so I have demo how to do it here. 😉

First thing first, I know it sound a little cliche but if you want really great tasting Japanese rice, you will need to get good japanese grains, but as I find sometimes the cost is a factor, I will opt for USA koshihikari or Australian short grains as well.

But my no. 1 choice is still Japanese Koshihikari, and over the years I have tried out many brands even the some china brands but the rice ended up not as pearly white and the chewiness just lost through the cooking. 🙁

So now I will stick to USA koshihikari or Japanese koshihikari which is premium short grain rice.

Hi there

I have a thing with cookware, yup, I like to buy, test, use, “admire” them, haha.. as I love cooking, I am always interested in kitchen gadgets and anything that can enhance the whole cooking experience.

My first encounter with Happy Call Korean frying pan, was when I saw the TV shopping channels on a sunday morning, so amazed by how simple this piece of funny looking non stick pan can cook so many dishes in such short time! But the price tag did hit me hard, so I refrained myself from buying any.

Second encounter was on a newspaper when they have a Food and Electronic Fair, and they advertise that there were running promotions on the first 100 customers per day to buy it at half price! but then at the fair, it will be close to impossible to queue to get one, then again, refrained myself from buying any.

BUT! third time lucky indeed! I have no idea how, but somehow browsing G-market and found the Happy Call frying pan advertising on there, and what’s more, at near half of the price, YEAH!
