A: If you use a Japanese rice cooker to cook Japanese rice, there is no problem. However, if you cook Japanese rice in a pot and do not allow it to absorb water before cooking, a glue layer will form on the surface of the rice grain. This glue layer prevents water and heat transfer, resulting in rice with uncooked core. Therefore, water absorption is a necessary step. Q: Why is my Japanese rice mushy? A: If the rice is broken when rinsing, the starch in the rice will dissolve into the water, resulting in mushy rice. Also, too much water will result in a porridge-like texture, so adjusting the amount of water is very important. Q: Do the Japanese add salt to rice? A: No, we do not add salt to rice unless there are special circumstances, such as making salted rice balls. Q: Can I cook this in rice cooker? Same amount of water? A: Yes, it will work in a rice cooker! ⏱ TIMESTAMPS 00:06 Measuring 00:32 Washing 02:03 Soaking 02:38 Drying 02:56 Cooking 04:21 Steaming 🍱 RECOMMENDED JAPANESE RECIPES    • Easy Japanese Recipe Ideas      • Ultimate Japanese Recipes - My Absolute Fa...      • Japanese Appetizer Recipes      • Japanese Dinner Recipes   -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 👨‍🍳 ABOUT SUDACHI Sudachi (formally known as Sudachi Recipes) is a Japanese cooking media established in 2019 by Yuto Omura.
