Method
Cooking Sushi Rice
- 1
Prepare the Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.

Cook the Rice
In a rice cooker or a pot, combine the rinsed sushi rice and water. Cook according to rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Season the Rice
Once the rice is cooked, let it sit covered for an additional 10 minutes. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the rice and gently fold it in with a spatula.
