Method
Preparing Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse the Sushi Rice
Place the sushi rice in a large bowl and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.

Cook the Sushi Rice
Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions. If using a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
- 3
Season the Rice
In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat gently until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, transfer to a large bowl and fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
