Method
Prepare Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the sushi rice in a sieve and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
- 2
Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine sushi rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.
- 3
Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice using a wooden spatula. Allow the rice to cool.

Shred the Pork
Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Mix with the juices left in the cooker.
