Season Rice
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the warm rice and gently fold to combine. Let cool to room temperature.

Form and Fry Rice
Once the rice has cooled, line a baking dish with parchment paper and spread the rice evenly, pressing down firmly to compact it. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Cut the set rice into squares or rectangles. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the rice pieces until golden and crispy on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
