Chef Johns Easy Sushi Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Rinse the rice in a strainer or colander until the water runs clear. Combine with water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 20 minutes. Rice should be tender and water should be absorbed. Cool until cool enough to handle.
• In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, oil, sugar and salt. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Cool, then stir into the cooked rice. When you pour this in to the rice it will seem very wet. Keep stirring and the rice will dry as it cools.

Steps:

• Rinse rice and drain. Add rice to a pot and pour in water. Bring to a simmer over high heat, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 20 minutes. Turn off heat and let rest for 10 minutes.
• While rice cooks, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt together in a small bowl until dissolved. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a shallow 2-quart baking dish with some sesame oil.
• Uncover rice and drizzle over seasoned vinegar mixture. Use a fork to break up and fluff rice. Transfer rice into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle over toasted sesame seeds, bonito flakes, and nori; use a fork to gently stir into the rice.
• Mix mayonnaise, soy sauce, ½ teaspoon sesame oil, and Sriracha for topping together in a bowl and stir in scallops and shrimp. Spread over rice, and sprinkle cayenne over the top.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until the seafood is just cooked through (or 95% cooked through), about 20 minutes. Turn oven to a high broil setting, and brown the top, 1 to 2 minutes. Garnish the top with more Sriracha, toasted sesame seeds, and green onions before serving.
