This guy uses monk fruit sweetener as an alternative to sugar in sushi rice. I’m very interested in this, but monk fruit is said to be much sweeter than sugar and he never mentions how much to use. Has anyone here ever experimented with this sweetener? https://youtu.be/5th-6G8RFOo

1. Interesting. But what’s the point of using an alternative if you are eating rice that is carby?

2. I thought I had heard 1/3 to 1/2 as much sweetener is needed for the same amount of sugar…but a google search of monk fruit vs sugar says it’s 100-250x sweeter? Not sure, just would say to start out with less than more!

3. There’s so little sugar to rice ratio I can hardly see the point.
