Ingredients
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 2 cups water
Instructions
Rice Seasoning
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of rice vinegar, 2 tbsp sugar, and 2 tsp kosher salt.
- Mix until completely dissolved. If it’s not dissolve, you can heat it up on the stove top to help it come together.
- Set aside.
Cup of Yum
Sushi Rice
- Rinse and drain the sushi rice at least 5 times in cold water or until the water runs clear.
- Add rice and water to the Instant Pot and press manual, setting the Instant Pot for 10 minutes.
- When the Instant Pot beeps, let the IP Natural Pressure Release, this can take up to 20 minutes before the pin drops.
- When done, pour the vinegar seasoning onto the rice.
- To combine, “cut” the rice with your rice paddle. Mixing the rice in a circular motion will mush the rice. Cut down the rice until the grains have separated. Allow it to cool before using if you wish (when making sushi bowls, I use it warm).
