Sashimi and Rice
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Sushi Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and combine the rice with water in a rice cooker. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions. Once cooked, let it sit for 10 minutes.

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