Method
Prepare Rice
- 1
Rinse and Cook the Sushi Rice
Rinse 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch. Combine the rinsed rice and 1.5 cups of water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook according to rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes 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 tablespoon of sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt until dissolved. Once the rice has rested, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
