Costco Rice Guide.

[tp4tissue]

Costco has basically 5 main rice outside of "regional small batch."


-Homai, Calrose
-Kokuho, Calrose

It's Calrose, Medium Sticky, you can use it for sushi, generally good eats, well balanced.


-Kirkland, Thai Jasmine

It's Jasmine, Medium-Low Sticky, starchier than Calrose, tougher, most people like this with an Oily Gravy to go on top.


-Royal, Basmati

This is basically India Jasmine, batch-to-batch often less sticky than Thai Jasmine, it's chalky more often than not, Gravy required.


-Kirkland, Long Grain

This is 'Murica rice, uncle Ben stuff, Non-Sticky, very chalky, tough, must eat these BUTTERED or Slathered with something gooey.

Tp4,   what is the SECRET to great Sushi.


It's actually not rice.  If you have a competant rice cooker, the rice will never be too horrible. Avoid long grain if you can, but it won't destroyyyy sushrr.

The Pivotal secret to sushrrr rice is actually the rice sauce, vinegar + SUGAR.  You need ALOT of sugar to make sushrr rice.

TP4 You LIAAAR,  Sugar is the enemy, you LIES, LIESSS.


Look at a bottle of sushi vinegar, it doesn't ask you to dilute it,  You need bout 100-200ml each time, they come in 600-700ml bottles.

It's 5g of added sugar per serving, each bottle is about 40 servings,  there's 200g of sugar in that 1 bottle,

Go pour out 70g of sugar,    THAT IS THE SECRET to Sushrrrr..

It's 2-2.5x the amount of sugar in cococolo.

IN FACT,  if you pour cococolo in rice,  it basically tastes like sushr rice.
