ALTON! What in the world are you thinking 1 TABLESPOON of salt????? This had to be a typo! I have made sushi a hundred times and thought oh this time I will try something different just for fun - I love Alton with all his factual cooking so I thought this HAD to be good....I did see someone else commented on the salt but alot of others loved it (don't get that unless they adjusted the salt!!! I was having my friends over for a cooking class on how to make sushi and of course the one time I change it up.....BLAH! I was so embarrassed. Everyone agreed the rice tasted "off" they were being nice because it was horrible and ruined it. The recipe should read 1 TSP salt. I usually use 1/3 cup rice vinegar, 2 tblsp sugar and 1 TSP salt. Warm until dissolved and pour over rice. You also need more than 2 cups water...I would add 1/4 cup more. Sorry this is so negative but It left a real bad taste in my mouth, literally.

I tried this recipe, but it turned out to be rather tasteless and flavorless. I added more vinegar and to no avail. I later did some research and found out that the rice vinegar sold in the US are milder than the ones sold in Japan, to cater to the likes of the American people. No wonder! I still enjoyed the rice with a hint of vinegar, though. It tastes good even after it's been frozen and microwaved.

I use a similar recipe when I make sushi rice at home. However, because I didn't have any rice vinegar on hand (I was too lazy to run to the store, I used white wine vinegar imported from Italy, and mixed in some dashi and used brown sugar in lieu of white sugar and got something that tasted just as good! Also make sure you are "slicing" and "folding" when mixing in the vinegar so you don't pulverize the rice grains. It's also ok to undercook the rice a little bit as that gives the rice a bit of texture instead of being steamed until it's turned to mush. Best thing I can recommend is to fan or blow on the rice as you are mixing in the vinegar as this can help give it that authentic glossy appearance. I wrote my recipe on my blog at metropolitansushi(dotcom(slashblog

So simple and delicious! However, I needed to add a little extra water because the rice wasn't quite cooked. Other than that it was GREAT SUCCESS!!!

we made spicy shrimp with this rice and it was delicious! very easy to make, and we made the rice in a litle rice cooker and it turned out great. VERY sticky thought, so be sure to have some warm water nearby. you're the man Alton!

This is a great recipe and I found the amount of salt to be fine. Be sure to continuously wet your hands in a water and vinegar mixture so the rice doesn't stick to your hands (10 parts water to 1 part vinegar.

It's really beyond me why some reviewers state that this recipe calls for too much salt. I've used this recipe on numerous occasions using the tablespoon of salt as the recipe states (table salt even and the rice has been a perfect mixture of sweet and salty. If one has some sort of intolerance for salt or if one doesn't know how to stir, measure, or use a microwave, then this recipe may not be recommended. However, if one wants to use a recipe that displays what sushi rice is supposed to taste like, then look no further. (I also highly recommend watching the episode of "Good Eats: Wake Up Little Sushi" before attempting this recipe
