1. Do you have to use sushi vinegar for rice balls?
You don't have to use sushi vinegar. If not, you can make rice balls. In fact, sushi vinegar not only improves the taste of rice, but also prevents rice from being too sticky, so it will not stick to hands or bamboo curtains when making, and it is convenient to operate. But if there is no sushi vinegar, it will not affect the production and taste of sushi, but rice is easy to stick to hands and bamboo curtains when making.
Can white vinegar replace sushi vinegar?
Sushi vinegar tastes a little sour, not as heavy as old vinegar. Although we don't directly use white vinegar as vinegar essence, we can mix salt, sugar and vinegar evenly according to the ratio of 1:5: 10, put them in a pot, heat them for a while, and then use them after cooling. Be careful not to make it boil when heating, so as not to reduce the sour taste of vinegar.
Third, how to make rice balls without sushi vinegar
1. First, wet your hands with water so that the rice won't stick to your hands. Then mix a pinch of salt with white sesame seeds so that the whole palm is covered with salt flowers.
2. Put a freshly cooked rice on the palm of your hand, and then gently knead it into a ball.
3. Dig a hole in the center of the rice with two fingers, add ingredients (such as roasted salmon paste), then add a small amount of rice and cover with ingredients.
4. Hold the rice ball with your left hand and knead it into a complete triangle with your right hand. Be careful not to push too hard, or the rice ball will harden.
5. Put the dried rice balls in the middle of the cut rectangular seaweed, and then roll them up from both sides and wrap them. Put a small amount of ingredients (such as salmon) on the head of the rice ball to prepare the rice ball.
