Brown sticky/sweet rice and black sticky/sweet rice are more glutinous than their non sticky cousins, but they're completely different from white sticky rice (sushi rice). In my experience, they get almost mucilaginous, and make a huge mess when you try to use them for sushi. <BR/><BR/>When I make sushi, I use plain short grain brown rice or Golden Rose brown rice which is a short grain/medium grain hybrid. I wash the rice, then soak it for about 8 hours or overnight before cooking it. I usually pressure cook the rice for 45-50 minutes in ratio of about 1:1 3/4 rice to water, although you can boil it 1:2. <BR/><BR/>I even use regular leftover brown rice for hand rolls like these:<BR/>http://naturalepicurean.blogspot.com/2007/ 05/quick-and-simple-handroll-tutorial.htmlChristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08837060045314727244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33432539.post-16604256557914296672007-08-07T01:07:00.000-05:002007-08-07T01:07:00.000-05:00I've been trying to get a good recipe for tofu... ...I've been trying to get a good recipe for tofu... it's never as good as royal thai... are my standards too high?Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06546457090327995671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33432539.post-28731494490068087232007-08-06T19:47:00.000-05:002007-08-06T19:47:00.000-05:00I always thought that making sushi at home was som...I always thought that making sushi at home was some big ordeal, but lately I have seen lots of blogs saying otherwise.

I have been curious about using brown rice, but definitely think that the white stuff is easier to work with. Very cute sushi plates by the way!Vegan_Noodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15946796454115691643noreply@blogger.com
