Method
Preparation of Rice
- 1
Rinse the Sushi Rice
In a fine mesh strainer, rinse 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.

Cook the Rice
Combine the rinsed rice with 1 1/4 cups of water in a rice cooker or pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until all water is absorbed.

Season the Rice
Once cooked, remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Gently fold this mixture into the rice.
