Cook the Sushi Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once done, let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

Season the Rice
In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat gently until sugar and salt dissolve. Pour this mixture over the cooked rice and fold gently to combine. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
