Any more than that will make your sushi rice too sticky. The biggest mistake most people make when cooking sushi rice is adding too much water. In addition, remember to soak your sushi rice in water for at least half an hour. Be sure to leave the lid on the pot until it boils. For example, for every two cups of rice, add two cups of water. This will make your rice fluffy and sticky in just the right amount.
If your sushi rice is still too sticky, then you might be cooking it for too long. Remember, 15 minutes is the perfect amount of time to boil your rice. Rice cookers usually come with timers, so they will automatically switch off when the rice is cooked. Sushi rice is supposed to be sticky. However, if it gets too sticky and clumpy, not only will you risk ruining its texture, but the flavor of the sushi as well.

On the plant, the grains of rice are contained in fibrous hulls attached to the stalk. Brown rice is the white endosperm and germ of the rice seed covered in a brown layer of 'bran.
Thus, eating brown rice is much more nutritionally beneficial than eating white rice. When the bran surrounding the endosperm and the germ are polished away, white rice is the result. The nutritional value of white rice might be less than brown rice, but the taste is generally preferred by most Japanese.
Rice is the staple of the Japanese diet, and is eaten every day by most Japanese people. The first step to cooking rice is to wash it unless you bought pre-washed rice. Washing the rice not only removes dirt and bits of bran, but also gets rid of excess starch on on the outside of the rice. When you wash the rice, you'll notice the water getting quite cloudy. If you were to leave this in the pot and cook the rice as is, the water would slowly turn into a gloopy gel that would end up coating your cooked rice, making it stickier than you want.
There are no hard rules about washing rice, and everyone has their own method. The basic idea is to fill your rice pot with water, scrub the rice by shaking your hand in the water, and then pour out the cloudy water. Some poeple will use a strainer, but this really isn't necessary. You can repeat this washing and rinsing process as many times as you like I know some people who will do it 9 times , but generally about 3 rinses is sufficient.
The traditional way to cook rice was to use a large pot over an open flame shown above. This is generally considered to produce the most delicious rice, and many high-end restaurants still cook their rice using this method.

Push the button, wait 30 to 60 minutes, and bam, rice! Wash Rice : Measure out the rice and put it into a saucepan or use a bowl at this stage.
