Ingredients




2 cups short grain rice
2 cups water
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt

Preparation

1 Rinse rice with cold water until the water runs clear. 2 Place the rice and 2 cups of water into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat, uncovered. 3 Once it begins to boil, reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cover. 4 Cook for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. 5 Combine the rice vinegar, sugar and salt in a small bowl and heat in the microwave on high for 30 to 45 seconds. 6 Transfer the rice into a large wooden or glass mixing bowl and add the vinegar mixture. Fold thoroughly to combine and coat each grain of rice with the mixture. 7 Allow to cool to room temperature before using to make sushi or sashimi.
