Method
Prepare Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place sushi rice in a fine mesh sieve and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.

Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 10 minutes.

Season the Rice
Transfer rice to a large bowl. In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat gently until sugar dissolves. Pour over warm rice and gently fold in with a spatula until evenly coated.
