- 8Bring quickly to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.
- 9Cover the pot and DON'T touch it until the end, NO PEEKING.

- 13Mix rice gently, careful not to break it.
- 14Sushi rice is best used at body temperature
Minado's Perfect Sushi Rice
This is the recipe for Sushi rice that I have learned from my father, the Sushi chef at Minado sushi. It's not really a secret recipe, many restaurants prepare rice this way, but it produces really great rice. More of a technique than anything. This is a response to a request in the forum and I hope you guys like it!
