Sushizu (sushi vinegar)
This sushi vinegar mixture gives the sushi rice its distinctive tangy-sweet flavor, glossy coating, and sticky texture, which helps it hold its shape for making sushi.
Ingredients
- 600 ml Rice vinegar unflavored
- 500 g sugar
- 50 g salt
Instructions
- Add all ingredients in a saucepan and turn on low heat.
- Stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar and salt has dissolved.
- Let it cool.
Notes
- Don’t let it come to a boil. Keep it on low to medium heat and as soon as the liquid is clear remove the pot from the heat to cool down.
- Sushi vinegar can be made a head of time and is even better the next day once all the flavor has infused together
