Method
Preparation of Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse and Cook Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice and 2.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes until the water is absorbed.

Season the Rice
Remove the pot from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice, ensuring the grains remain intact.
