Sushi Rice

Instantly upgrade your homemade sushi

📝 Ingredients

• 1 cup rice (Short-grain Japanese rice such as koshihikari preferred)
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar (see notes)
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp salt (sea salt preferred)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Place the sushi rice in a colander, rinse throughly and let drain for 15 minutes. Cook rice according to the package instructions or your preference.
2. 2While the rice is cooking, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small sauce pan and warm over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves.
3. 3When the rice is done cooking, transfer to a very large bowl. Sprinkle on half of the vinegar mixture and use a rice paddle or spatula to mix the vinegar into the rice while using a slicing motion. Fan the rice while mixing to dry it out slightly – it helps if you have a friend to fan while you mix. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more if needed. Cover with a damp towel until ready to use. Enjoy!
