Sushi Rice
If you’ve never tried it, making sushi rice might sound difficult but it can be quite easy when you use the right rice for the job. While some dishes like rice salads can be a bit more flexible with what kind of rice is used, recipes like this sushi burrito will yield the best and tastiest results when you use Mahatma® Authentic Short Grain Rice for Sushi. It´s just as simple as cooking jasmine rice but it’s specially designed for sushi rolls as its sticky texture is perfect for holding the rolls together. These grains are also great at absorbing flavors, like the vinegar and lime juice in this recipe, boosting the flavor of your sushi and perfectly complimenting the ingredients inside.
