Rinse and Cook Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a rice cooker, combine the rinsed rice and 2.5 cups of water. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions. Once done, let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

Season Rice
In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat gently until sugar and salt dissolve. Pour this mixture over the cooked rice and fold gently to combine. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
