What setting do I use to cook sushi rice?

Sushi rice is a short-grain rice – there isn't actually a specific variety of rice called "sushi rice".

The term sushi rice generally refers to short-grain Japanese-style rice that has the characteristics needed for sushi: a tender, slightly sticky texture that allows the grains to hold together without becoming overly soft.

How to Cook Sushi Rice in a Rice Cooker

If your Yum Asia rice cooker has a Short Grain or Sushi cooking function, select that programme and follow the corresponding water-level markings on the inner bowl.

If your model doesn't have specific short-grain markings, follow the water-to-rice guidance in your rice cooker's user manual. Different models can have slightly different cooking programmes and water requirements, so it's important to use the instructions for your particular model.

For the best results, always use the cooking programme and water markings intended for short-grain rice rather than treating it like ordinary long-grain rice.
