Food safety

Caution: moderate

Serve promptly. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and consume within 24 hours; chilled sushi rice will become firmer.

Risk factors

  • Cooked rice can support bacterial growth if held at room temperature too long.
  • Knife work is required for preparing fillings and portioning rolls.
  • Hot steam escapes when the cooked rice is uncovered.
