Chefs Tip:
- Tastic Rices of the World Sushi Rice is a short grain rice, when cooked, it develops a sweeter, stronger flavour than any other rice variety
- The cooked grains stick together, perfect for rolling and shaping California Rolls, Nigiri, Maki, Fashion Sandwiches and other Japanese dishes
- Once rolled, you’ll find it amazingly easy to eat with chopsticks.
- You can use chicken, beef, or even pork for the protein if you don’t want the salmon.
