Method
Prepare 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 sushi rice and 1.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, remove it from heat, and let it sit covered for 10 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
