    Helen, This is glorious and easy! Can't wait to try it. I just saw a reference to beyond salmon.com this morning in 'edible pioneer valley' including an adaptation of your recipe for sushi rice. I'm going to try that too. Much thanks!

    Hi Joe,

    Thanks for letting me know about Edible Pioneer Valley. I am not sure where exactly Pioneer Valley is, but I am glad they are making sushi rice :)

    Cheers,
