Instructions

  1. Place sushi rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse rice under running water for 2-3 minutes, or until water runs clear.
  2. Bring water and rice to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer for 20 minutes.*
  3. In a separate small saucepan combine vinegar, sugar, and salt over medium heat. Whisk until sugar and salt have dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. When rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and then pour the seasoned vinegar evenly over top. Toss until the rice is well coated using either a rice paddle or a silicone spatula. And be careful not to smush the rice, gently fold it until it's evenly mixed.
  5. Cover the rice with a damp paper towel to prevent it from drying out and let it sit until it has cooled to room temperature.
  6. Use to make sushi rolls or serve it up in a vegetarian sushi bowl.

Notes

  • To Store: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • To Freeze: Let the rice come to room temperature then seal in an airtight container. Freeze for up to 6 months.
  • To Reheat: Place rice in a microwave-safe bowl along with a teaspoon of water. Cover with a dampened paper towel and microwave until heated through.
