Description

Sushi rice is a staple in Japanese cuisine and is the foundation for sushi rolls. Typically, sushi rice is made with white rice, sugar, and rice vinegar. However, this healthy sushi rice recipe substitutes white rice with brown rice and uses coconut sugar instead of regular sugar. This recipe is perfect for those who are health-conscious and want to enjoy a guilt-free sushi meal.

Prep Time

The prep time for this healthy sushi rice recipe is approximately 10-15 minutes.

Cook Time

The cook time for this healthy sushi rice recipe is approximately 45-50 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of brown rice
  • 3 cups of water
  • 3 tablespoons of coconut sugar
  • 1/3 cup of rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon of salt

Equipment

  • Large pot with a lid
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Wooden spoon
  • Bowl

Method

  1. Rinse the brown rice in a fine mesh strainer under running water until the water runs clear.
  2. Add the rinsed rice and water to a large pot and bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid and simmer for 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the water has been absorbed.
  4. While the rice is cooking, mix the coconut sugar, rice vinegar, and salt in a bowl until the sugar has dissolved.
  5. Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes.
  6. Transfer the rice to a large bowl and add the vinegar mixture. Mix well with a wooden spoon until the rice is evenly coated.
  7. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the rice to absorb the vinegar mixture.
  8. Once the rice has cooled down, it's ready to be used for sushi rolls or served as a side dish.

Notes

  • Make sure to rinse the brown rice well before cooking to remove any excess starch.
  • It's important to let the rice sit for 10 minutes before mixing in the vinegar mixture to prevent the rice from becoming too sticky.
  • Leftover sushi rice can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
