Putting the pieces together of sushi is relatively simple but also considered a type of food art. Just remember to not go looking for sushi rice as there is fundamentally no such thing. This is because sushi rice is actually short grain rice which, in rice cookers, should be cooked using the short grain function. In this article we explain how to make Sushi in a Fuji rice cooker. The amounts of rice you want to make can be adapted in scale to the capacity of your rice cooker.
