What is the biggest challenge when making sushi?

by

Zoë EscherThe biggest challenge is to cook sushi rice to perfection.

Sushi rice are more delicate to cook than other types of rice. The weather can influence the cooking of sushi rice.

In Denmark we do not have extreme weather fluctuations which you can be experienced in the US or in Japan.
If you cook sushi rice on a regular basis all year you will notice how the weather affects the sushi rice.

The cooking time and the amount of water can slightly vary from the weather. You must just stay on your toes and constantly keep track of how the rice is cooked.
