Method
Prepare Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Cook the Rice
In a rice cooker or pot, combine the rinsed rice and water. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until all water is absorbed.

Season the Rice
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved, then gently fold this mixture into the rice. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
