Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation of Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the sushi rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
- 2
Cook the Rice
In a rice cooker or pot, combine the rinsed rice with 2.5 cups of water. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
- 3
Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat slightly to dissolve. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let it cool to room temperature.
