Crab Stick Preparation
Method
Cooking 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.

Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.

Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture with a wooden spatula until evenly coated. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
