Cooking the Sushi Rice

Rinse the Rice

In a rice cooker or a 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 cover and simmer on low for about 20 minutes until the water is absorbed.

Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let it cool to room temperature.
