Method
Preparing the Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the sushi rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
- 2
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 the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

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