Method
Prepare Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse the 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
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 1.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 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 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice, being careful not to mash the grains.
