Method
Prepare the Poke Base
- 1
Rinse and Cook Sushi Rice
Rinse 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 1.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt until dissolved. Once the rice has rested, fluff it with a fork and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
