So, what is sushi rice?

Sushi rice, also known as shari, is a short-grain, glutinous rice that is a staple ingredient in Japanese cuisine. It is characterized by its distinctive sticky and slightly sweet texture, which is achieved through a process of soaking, washing, and cooking with a special blend of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Sushi rice is essential to making sushi, a popular Japanese dish that features bite-sized pieces of raw fish, vegetables, and other ingredients wrapped in seaweed and served with soy sauce and wasabi. Its unique flavor and texture make it a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of other dishes, such as rice bowls and salads.
