Method
Preparing the Rice
- 1
Rinse the Sushi Rice
In a fine mesh strainer, rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sushi rice and 2.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, remove it from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
