- 2 ½ cups sushi rice
- 2 ½ cups water
- ⅓ cup rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place the sushi rice in a large bowl. Cover the rice with cold water. Use your hand to stir the rice in a circular motion. Drain the water. Repeat 3-4 times until the water remains clear.
- Add the rinsed rice and 2 1/2 cups of water to a large pot. Let the rice soak for 30 minutes.
- Bring the water to a boil, cover the pot, reduce the temperature to medium-low, and simmer for 10 minutes. DO NOT open the lid.
- Turn off the heat and let the rice rest for another 10 minutes with the lid on.
- Meanwhile, add the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the sugar and salt have dissolved.
- Transfer the rice to a large bowl. Pour the vinegar mixture over the rice and fold carefully using cutting motions.
- Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let the rice cool down. It's ready to use for sushi when the rice is at body temperature.
