Method
Prepare Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This will remove excess starch.

Cook the Rice
In a rice cooker, combine the rinsed sushi rice and 1.2 cups of water. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions. If using a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice using a wooden spatula. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
