Prep Time

10 minutes

Cook Time

20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • Rice cooker or pot with lid
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon or spatula

Method

  1. Rinse the rice in cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a pot or rice cooker, combine the rice and water.
  3. Cook the rice according to the instructions on the rice cooker or on the stove.
  4. While the rice is cooking, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan.
  5. Heat the mixture over low heat until the sugar dissolves.
  6. When the rice is finished cooking, let it sit for 10 minutes to steam.
  7. Transfer the rice to a large mixing bowl.
  8. Pour the vinegar mixture over the rice.
  9. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, gently fold the vinegar mixture into the rice.

Notes

  • Do not stir the rice vigorously, as this will break the grains and make the rice mushy.
  • It is important to let the rice cool to room temperature before using it for sushi, as hot rice can melt the nori (seaweed) and make the sushi fall apart.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to use sushi rice, as it is stickier than other types of rice and will hold together better in sushi rolls.
  • When measuring the rice and water, use the same cup for both to ensure the correct ratio.
  • If you don't have rice vinegar, you can substitute with white vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
  • If you like your sushi rice sweeter, you can add more sugar to the vinegar mixture.
  • If you are not using the rice immediately, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
