Prepare Sushi Rice

Rinse the Rice

Cook the Rice
In a medium pot, combine the rinsed 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.

Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, remove from heat and let it cool slightly before gently folding in the vinegar mixture.
