Method
Preparing Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place 2 cups of sushi rice in a fine mesh sieve and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.

Cook the Rice
Transfer the rinsed rice to a rice cooker. Add 2 cups of water and cook according to the rice cooker instructions. If using a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the seasoning. Let it cool to room temperature.
