One alternative method for preparing sushi rice without using vinegar is to use lemon juice or citric acid as a substitute for the vinegar.
A mild and sweeter western vinegar such as champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar will substitute
White wine vinegar is the better substitute for rice vinegar.
You can substitute with Champagne vinegar, White wine vinegar, Cider vinegar, Rice wine vinegar. I would start with half of what the recipe calls for. If your recipe calls for 2 Tbsp. you should add 1 Tbsp. and taste first before adding more. You can always add more but you can't take it out.
The ideal sushi vinegar ratio for making delicious sushi rice is typically 1:1, which means equal parts rice vinegar, sugar, and salt.
A suitable substitute for sushi rice when making sushi at home is short-grain white rice or jasmine rice. These types of rice have a similar sticky texture that is important for sushi making.
Rice vinegar is absolutely necessary in sushi rolls. Sushi is named for the sticky rice, which is made with a little bit of rice vinegar. Without vinegar this is just regular rice, and it will not stick to itself enough to make a roll.
I say that It all depends on what you are making... If making sushi, i would never. Im all for substitutes but NOT in that case . it would not work,, in my opinion. The flavor of white vinegar is much stronger and harsher than sushi vinegar.
Vinegar is added according to individual taste.
sushi means sour. it means this because when you add sushi vinegar it changes the taste of the sushi and the rice true story !
I don't like sushi, neither does my friend.
Rice with rice vinegar and sugar, and seaweed (called nori in Japanese) are the two staples of sushi. Common sushi fillings are vegetables and fish.
