Method
Prepare Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse the Sushi 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 1.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce 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 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. Let it cool to room temperature.
