How to Make 8 Grain Mix

  1. Choose your desired quantity: This recipe is easily scalable. The suggested ratio is 1 cup of grain mix per 2 cups of rice.
  2. Combine: Mix your chosen amount of 8-Grain Mix with an equal amount of jasmine or basmati rice (by volume).
  3. Add water: Add an equal amount of water to the combined rice and grain mix. For example, if you use 1 cup of grain mix and 1 cup of rice, add 2 cups of water.
  4. Cook: Cook in a rice cooker until all the water is absorbed and the grains are tender (approximately 15 minutes).
  5. Sushi Magic (optional): For sushi rice, gently stir in a mixture of ⅓ cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt to the cooled rice and grain blend.
