During my Junior High years, we had to learn about Japan in almost every aspect. And one group did sushi as project. And the 2 things about the sushi wasn't the sea weed or the filling, it was the rice. First off, they didn't use the special Sushi rice and second they didn't have enough water to cook the rice and also didn't cook it for long enough. So the rice was hard and kinda dry. Wasn't the best sushi. But I gotta give credit to them, they didn't have a rice cooker.
The thing about making any rice is the water level, my mom had a good method of measuring it, I use it too (I can make rice... using rice cooker only). Sushi rice though, u have to add this vinegar (still the same amount of water) to the rice while you're cooking it.
Making sushi is fun, but I haven't done it in a long time, maybe if I ever get any free time in University, I'll try it out... since now that I've brought back a rice cooker from home.
