Sushi Rice
Method
Cooking the Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.

Cook the Rice
In a rice cooker or a pot, combine the rinsed rice with 2.5 cups of water. Cook according to rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
- 3
Prepare Sushi Vinegar
In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over low until sugar and salt are dissolved, then remove from heat.

Mix the Rice
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Drizzle the sushi vinegar over the rice and gently fold it in with a wooden spatula. Allow to cool to room temperature.
