1. 1

   Prepare Sushi Rice

   Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well. In a rice cooker, combine the rinsed rice and water. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions. Once cooked, let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

   Season Rice

   In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold the mixture into the warm rice. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
