In my Channel, I show authentic but alternative Japanese home cooking, which can be make with the ingredients that are available outside of Japan.

In this video, I am showing how to cook Japanese rice (sticky rice) properly. I am also explaining what you should be aware of, when choosing quality rice.

For 2 servings:
Short grain rice 1 cup (250 ml)
Water 1 1/4 cup (300ml)

Key points on cooking Japanese rice properly
1. Washing rice thoroughly until water is clear.
2. Ratio of rice to water: 1:1.2 in volume or 1:1.5 in weight
(let it soak in water for 30 min to 1 hour)
3. Cooking time: cook in high heat until it comes to boil, simmer for 10 min., then let it rest and let it steam for 10 min. on its own.
