Instructions
For the rice
Step 1
Wash the rice several times until the water runs fairly clear when draining.
Step 2
Let the rice soak in water for 30 minutes.
Step 3
Transfer the rice to your pot or Japanese electric rice cooker and add equal amount of water.
Step 4
Bring the water to a boil than put on the lid.
Step 5
Turn on the gas to low heat and leave the rice to cook for 8 minutes without opening the lid.
Step 6
Keep it covered for at least 20 minutes after the flame is off so the rice can fluff up/finish cooking in the steam.
For the sushi vinegar
Step 7
Mix the vinegar, sugar and salt together in a small saucepan.
Step 8
Heat the mixture until the sugar dissolves, stirring frequently.
Step 9
Remove from heat and let your sushi vinegar cool to room temperature.
Step 10
Take a wooden spatula or spoon and cut and fold the rice. Be gentle as you do not want to smash the cooked grains.
