Crispy Rice Ingredients

Preparation Directions
- 1
Prepare Sushi Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker or pot and cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly.

Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the warm rice to season it. Allow the rice to cool completely.

Form Rice Patties
Once the rice has cooled, wet your hands and take a small amount of rice to form into rectangular patties, about 2 inches long and 1 inch wide.
