Introduction of Sushi Vinegar from TSY
Sushi vinegar, also known as sushi seasoning or sushi rice seasoning, is a crucial ingredient in making sushi rice, the foundation of sushi dishes. Sushi vinegar is a mixture of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. It is responsible for giving sushi rice its characteristic tangy and slightly sweet flavor while also enhancing its texture.
The purpose of sushi vinegar is to season the cooked rice and provide the ideal balance of flavors that complement the fresh fish, vegetables, or other ingredients used in sushi rolls or nigiri sushi. The combination of rice vinegar's mild acidity, sugar's sweetness, and salt's savory touch creates a harmonious taste that complements the overall sushi experience.
Sushi vinegar is a key component in achieving authentic sushi flavors, ensuring that the rice complements the other ingredients harmoniously. Its distinctive taste and aroma contribute to the overall enjoyment of sushi.
Traditionally, sushi vinegar is made by gently heating rice vinegar, sugar, and salt together until the sugar and salt dissolve completely. This mixture is then cooled down and used to season the freshly cooked rice. The amount of sushi vinegar used depends on personal preference and the desired level of flavor. It's common to use approximately 1 part vinegar, 1 part sugar, and 1/2 part salt, but the proportions can be adjusted to suit individual taste.
When preparing sushi rice, the vinegar is added to the cooked rice while it's still warm. The rice is gently folded and mixed with the sushi vinegar using a wooden spatula or rice paddle. Care should be taken not to overmix or mash the rice, as it may affect its texture.
1. Make sushi rice (vinegar rice)
The core use of sushi vinegar is to mix it with freshly cooked rice to make sushi rice (vinegar rice), which is used in various types of sushi, such as:
Nigiri sushi
Rolled sushi (Maki
Chirashi (Loose sushi)
"Gunkan"
Usage method
Pour the freshly cooked rice (short-grain rice, such as Japanese rice or sushi rice) into a large wooden basin (or glass/ceramic bowl) while it is still hot.
Pour sushi vinegar over 1 cup of rice (about 150g) in a ratio of 20 to 30ml.
Use the method of cutting and mixing (avoid crushing the rice) to evenly distribute the vinegar, and at the same time cool it down with a fan or fan to make the rice shiny.
2. Marinate sushi ingredients
Sushi vinegar can also be used to slightly marinate seafood or vegetables, giving them a sweet and sour flavor and having a certain sterilizing effect, for example:
Pickled mackerel (Shime Saba)
Pickled cucumbers (Sunomono
Pickled red ginger (Gari, sushi ginger)
3. Make a Japanese salad (vinegar)
Sushi vinegar can be used to make Japanese vinegar dishes (Sunomono), such as:
Wakame Salad
Cucumber Vinegar (Kyuri no Sunomono)
Octopus vinegar (Tako Su
Method:
Mix sushi vinegar with a little soy sauce, sesame seeds, mustard, etc., and pour it over the vegetables or seafood, stirring well.
4. Other creative usages

Japanese sandwich (Sandos) : Mix it with rice to make a sushi sandwich.
Dipping sauce preparation: Mix soy sauce, mustard, etc. to make sushi dipping sauce.
Precautions
The temperature of the rice: Sushi vinegar should be mixed in when the rice is still hot, as it is not easily absorbed after cooling.
Proportion adjustment: The proportion of sugar or salt can be increased or decreased according to personal taste.
Alternative: If sushi vinegar is not available, you can make it yourself with rice vinegar, sugar and salt (reference ratio: 5:2:1).
