sushi recipes without rice

Sushi Rice question!?

Hi!

I'm looking for a recipe for making sushi rice. Preferably, one you have really used too. Not one pulled off randomly online. I have the rice vinegar and etc. but not sure what a GOOD amount of vinegar, salt and sugar is. I don't want a strong flavor or unhealthy amount. I don't want to attempt it without have a decent basis of knowledge on it. I know how to cook the rice etc. I'm just not sure on the mixture..

Also, would jasmine rice be okay to use? I figured it'd be fine since its short grain. I can't find the "right" one. I've heard calrose is good, but I cant find it where I live. (I have a korean market close by too) :[

Thanks! Any help is appreciative.

You really need to use a sushi rice as not only is it short grain but it is also very glutinous when cooked...jasmine rice doesn't taste the same. I'd try to find a type that isn't as strongly flavored.

This is the quantities I use and the recipe I follow:
- 450g (1 lb) japanese rice (or short grain white rice)
-4 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
-2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt

Wash the rice, changing water 3 or 4 times until it runs clear, drain it in a sieve and leave it for an hour.

Mix the vinegar, sugar and salt and stir until dissolved.

Cook rice in rice cooker or in a medium sized pan with 5 parts cold water to 4 parts rice ie 550ml water for 450g rice. Cover pan and bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes or until you hear a faint crackling noise. Remove pan and stand for another ten minutes (don't lift the lid!)

Transfer rice to a bowl and drizzle with vinegar mixture. Slice With a spatula until rice is vinegar-ed. You can use a paper fan to cool the rice to room temperature...this will also give the rice a glossy, shiny finish which is a good thing!
