Rinse and Cook
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, or bring to a boil in a pot, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit for 10 minutes.
