Sushi Rice Ingredients
Method
Sushi Rice Preparation
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse it under cold running water. Swirl the rice with your hand to remove excess starch until the water runs clear.
- 2
Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sushi rice and 2.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

Prepare the Seasoning
In a small bowl, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved.

Season the Rice
Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes. Transfer the rice to a large bowl, and while it is still warm, gently fold in the vinegar mixture using a wooden spatula. Be careful not to mash the rice.
- 5
Cool the Rice
Allow the seasoned sushi rice to cool to room temperature before using it for sushi rolls or as a side dish.
