Sushi Rice

Method

Cooking the Sushi Rice

  1. 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.

  2. 2

    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. 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.

  4. 4

    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.
