Martinotti Sushi Rice 1kg

Sushi Rice

Martinotti Sushi Rice 1kg is a short-grain rice that's ideal for making homemade sushi, Japanese-inspired rice bowls and other dishes where a soft, slightly sticky texture is essential. With its plump grains and delicate flavour, this sushi rice cooks to a tender consistency that holds together beautifully, making it easy to shape into sushi rolls, nigiri and rice balls.

The secret to good sushi rice is getting the texture just right. Martinotti Sushi Rice develops the gentle stickiness needed to keep sushi together while allowing the individual grains to retain their character. Once cooked and seasoned with rice vinegar, sugar and salt, it provides the perfect base for everything from classic maki rolls to colourful sushi bowls topped with fresh vegetables, seafood and sesame seeds.

Beyond sushi, this versatile short-grain rice is lovely served with teriyaki chicken, grilled salmon, crispy tofu or Japanese curry. Its mild flavour works particularly well with ingredients such as soy sauce, pickled ginger, nori seaweed and wasabi, allowing the accompanying flavours to shine.

At i4C, we love a homemade sushi night, especially when there's a selection of fillings and everyone can have a go at rolling their own. Martinotti Sushi Rice is a great starting point, whether you're making simple cucumber maki or experimenting with more adventurous combinations.

Do you need to wash sushi rice before cooking?

Yes, rinsing sushi rice is an important step. Washing removes excess surface starch, helping prevent the rice from becoming overly gummy. Rinse the grains several times in cold water until the water becomes noticeably clearer, then drain before cooking.

What is the best way to season sushi rice?

Traditional sushi rice is seasoned with a mixture of Japanese rice vinegar, sugar and salt. The seasoning is gently folded into freshly cooked rice while it's still warm, allowing the grains to absorb the flavours evenly. Avoid vigorous stirring, as this can crush the grains and affect the texture.

How much uncooked sushi rice do I need per person?

For a sushi-making meal, approximately 75–100g of uncooked rice per person is a useful starting point, depending on the fillings and accompanying dishes. A 1kg bag can therefore provide around 10–13 portions. For smaller sushi platters served alongside other dishes, you may need less.
