I loved it and I frankly take offense of someone who like Christopher from CA. watches a show daily and then slams it! why watch it if you hate it? I LOVE Emeril and use his recipes many times and well to put it out there frankly, how many others has his own show? So, if you do not like a chef, don't watch his show but don't slam someone openly like this, just turn the channel and grow up.

I used not to put sugar in my sushi, however, after reading all of the recipes that calls for sugar. I decided to give a try. Here's what i have understood so far. There are two different kind of vinegars on the market. One is called "Sushi Vinegar" and the other one is called "Rice Vinegar". When you are using Sushi Vinegar, you don't have to mix with any sugar or salt because it suppose to be already made for you. However, when you have Rice Vinegar, you do need to add sugar and salt and make the rice more tasty. As far as how to cook the rice, rice cooker does a great job and it is easy, even chef Morimoto will tell you the same. I have tried Emeril's recipe today, it was very good. I like it very much and so is my husband. We are both sushi lovers.

What did Emeril do to the poster that called him a "knuckle-dragger". I have many Japanese friends and they all put sugar in the sushi vinegar along with a little salt. Without this step the rice doesn't have that glazed look that I see on the rice I get at my local Manhattan Japanese restaurants. I have several Japanese cookbooks and they all list sugar as at least an optional ingredient in the vinegar mixture. So Emeril has an accent, not everyone speaks perfect english. A know nothing bad cook with a long list of limitations sees a bit harsh, no. I am not a big fan of his flamboyant style but I think he is at the very least competent.

I almost didn't make this rice when I read the reviews... obviously it's not as authentic as some people may wish. However, growing up on American sushi, I thought it tasted just like the rice from my favorite Japanese restaurants. I've made it three times now to use in rolls, and it's been wonderful. There's plenty left over to do fried rice the next day too! This recipe is definitely a winner in my book.

You should NEVER, EVER, EVER add sugar to your sushi rice. Quality Japanese rice will be sweet enough - all you need is vinegar. It's hard to believe Emeril would do such a thing - I can only imagine he is trying to "Americanize" sushi by making it "sweet" with sugar, but all he is doing is ruining the recipe.
