What is Sushi Rice?

Sushi rice is made using short-grain rice. Generally white rice is used, and sometimes brown rice is used. The rice is cooked and then mixed with rice vinegar, sugar and oil. It is fanned to cool it and then used in the making of sushi and similar food items. The rice will either be white or tan, depending on the type used. The texture is sticky, but each rice grain remains individual while clumping together. The flavor is mild and gently sweet and with a subtle hint of tanginess.
