Dear Readers,
Calrose Rice Suitable To Cook Japanese, Korean and Chinese Cuisines
Until the moment I wrote about this entry, I didn't know that choosing type of rice is also an art in cooking. Why I say so? Well, preparing dishes like sushi actually required different type of rice grain. Your fragrant rice at home won't make a nice sushi, okay?
From my reading, there are actually more than 10 type of rices that available in the market such as white rice, brown rice, red rice, black rice, jasmine, Basmati, Japanese, glutinous, wild, Arborio rice and many more.
But today, what I am going to share with you is about Calrose rice from a brand known as Sumo Rice.
Calrose rice is a medium grain rice and known as one of the most recognized California rice in the United States and abroad especially at the Pacific. This is the name that registered in trade and the marketplace where Cal represent California, the state of the grain's origin and production while "rose" indicate its medium-grain shape.
Just a fun fact that almost 80% of the California rice crop is this Calrose rice. Besides California, Calrose rice is grown in other countries as well around the globe where the growing conditions are suitable such Pacific Rim and Australia.
It is soft and sticky making it suitable to prepare Japanese cuisine such as the sushi and others like Korean and Chinese cuisine. This rice can absorb flavors very well hence, making it a better choice for this purpose. In addition, this rice is also used to prepare dishes like paella, poke bowl, rice ball and many more.
Currently in the Malaysia market, Sumo Rice comes in two sizes of packaging, the 5 kg and 1 kg packaging. And most importantly, this product is halal certified with the reference of JAKIM/(S)/(22.00)/492/2/ 1 059-09/2004 and you can find this Sumo Rice listed in the JAKIM list using this link Sumo Rice Halal Certified.
Calrose rice has multiple nutritional benefits such as no fat content, low in calories and a great source of carbohydrates make it a perfect choice for those who are looking for energy.
It is pretty simple to cook this rice as well and I follow all the instructions given on the packaging.
- Pour 1 cup of SUMO Calrose Rice and add 2 cups of water into the rice cooker.
- Turn on the rice cooker and when the rice cooker turns off, leave it for 10 minutes before serving.
