How to cook rice in Japanese

If you want to cook rice for sushi, you need to do the following. 2 cups rice rinse thoroughly. It is considered that it should be washed in seven waters", that is, seven times, or until water is clear.

In a large pot with a thick bottom, pour 4 cups of water, bring to a boil. In boiling water drop washed rice and cook for 20 minutes on very low heat, covered and stirring. If you are afraid that the rice will boil soft, it is possible to do differently is to boil it for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat, tightly cover and keep for half an hour. In any of these ways of cooking rice, the water should be absorbed, but if you poured her a bit more than required, drain the rice in a colander to drain the water.

Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to minimum and cover pot. Cook for 15 minutes without removing the lid, and then turn off the heat and leave the rice for another 10 minutes, also without opening the cover.
