Rice Cooking Instructions

1.    Sushi Rice Only - Use only short grain (Sushi grade) rice.  Small batch is 3 quarts, large batch is 5 quarts
2.    Wash - wash rice three times, straining each time using the net and changing out the water.  After the last rinse the water should still be clear
3.    Mix - Mix with water
a.    small batch 3 Qts rice to 3 Qts water
b.    large batch 5 Qts rice to 5 Qts water
4.    Miola - add Miola
a.    small batch 1 1/3 oz
b.    large batch 2 oz

5.    Cook - cook for 30 minutes - cooker will shut off automatically, let it sit covered for another 15 to 20 minutes
6.    Transfer - move rice to large wooden mixing bowl
7.    Season - add 8 oz rice vinegar (KD39 or MD32) per quart.  PH should be around 4.2 (higher PH will make rice last longer).  Mix with rice and let it sit about 15 minutes, mix two more times letting it rest 15 minutes each time and do not mix any more or rice will get to sticky
8.    Hold - move rice to warms and hold until ready to use
9.    Log - write down the time on the rice tracking log
