Auntie Mae’s Sushi Rice
Auntie Mae’s Rice
A colorful and comforting family-style sushi rice dish from Auntie Mae’s kitchen.
I remember last having had Auntie Mae’s sushi rice during a family gathering in 2009. My daughter and her cousin had little adventures that day — taking a paddle boat out (and needing a tow back when the chain broke!) and feeding goats. It’s one of those sweet days I’ll always remember — and Auntie Mae’s sushi rice made it even more special.

Jodi, thanks for this great recipe! I’m copying it out. The second I saw the image and the recipe title, I knew I would love this recipe. I was going to ask where to get the Nagatanien sushi rice seasoning, but then I cleverly clicked the link. Now I know I can get it from Amazon if not locally. I’m in Phoenix, AZ, and we have a large Asian population. So I may be able to get it in the market up the block. Your paddle boat ride looks great.
