Rinse and Cook Rice
Rinse 2 cups of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a rice cooker or pot, combine the rinsed rice and 2.5 cups of water. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Season Rice
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon salt until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the warm rice and gently fold with a spatula until well combined. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature before using.
