How to Cook Rice for Sushi Burgers

For 100g of sushi rice or just short-grain rice, you will need 100-120ml of water, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1/3 tbsp sugar, and 1-2 pinches of salt to taste. Rinse the rice thoroughly, cover it with clean water, and bring to a boil.

Cook for 10-15 minutes with the lid on over low heat, then remove from the stove and let it sit for 10 minutes with the lid still on. Mix the vinegar, sugar, and salt, pour the resulting dressing into the hot rice, and mix thoroughly. Wait until the rice has completely cooled.

For one sushi burger, you'll need approximately 100-150g of cooked rice – this is enough for 2 “buns.” Be sure to shape them with wet hands! You can also skip shaping buns and layer everything in a culinary ring, like a layered salad. But it's better to do this directly on a nori sheet, into which you will then wrap the burger.
