    So fun fact about Claire's sushi: According to Molly Ringwald, the script had originally called for Claire to have pasta salad for lunch. It was Ally Sheedy who came up with the idea of her having sushi because it better fit her status as an upper class rich girl, because sushi was more of a luxury foodstuff back in the mid-80's.

      @tobiasreinhold7642 2 года назад +133

      @@nappa0582 I take it you don't have a rice cooker and thus don't realise the amazing end result it delivers with perfect consistency? It's not about how easy or hard it is to make rice, it's about the rice being way better from a rice cooker than in almost any other method available. Trust me, if you enjoy rice, just buy a cheap [like 20 bucks or so] rice cooker and test it out. Compared to regularly boiling your rice, the result is fluffier, you have more individual grains, they don't clump and it's a more even result. You also don't need to pay precise attention to when it's done for the perfect result, which gives you more time to get extravagant with the other parts of your meal. Lastly, with most other methods, you have a window of about 1-2 minutes in which your rice becomes perfect, with anything longer or shorter reducing the quality by a lot. With a rice cooker, the rice stays in perfect consistency for anywhere between 10-30 minutes after the cooking process is done. It slowly deteriorates in quality after that point, but is still really nice for up to 2 hours. (You can even leave it in the rice cooker overnight and make fried rice with the leftovers.)
      Seriously, if you haven't experienced the greatness of a rice cooker, go and get one. I was a skeptic myself for years and it was among the best small investments (19,90 €) I've made.

    other tip for slicing (as a Korean American who makes gimbap, ymmv with sushi): let the roll sit at least a minute or two before slicing. the moisture from the rice will seep into the seaweed a little, adhering them together and reducing the chances of everything falling apart when you go to slice!
