Instructions

  1. Place the rice into a mixing bowl and cover with cold water. Clean the rice in the water with your hand, 2-3 times or until the water is clear.
  2. After the rice is rinsed, let the rice drain in a colander or strainer for 5-10 minutes.
  3. Pour in cold water for cooking and the well rinsed & drained rice in Instant Pot. Ensure all the rice is fully submerged in the water. Pressure cook for 5 minutes at HIGH pressure. Allow for a natural pressure release for five minutes before releasing steam manually.
  4. While the rice cooks, mix the vinegar, sugar, and salt in a bowl until blended. Gently heat in microwave or in a pan on stovetop, if needed.Note: Do not bring sushi vinegar to a boil. Mix it well and make sure that the sugar and salt get dissolved in the vinegar mixture.
  5. Transfer the rice to a large container or a bowl and gently spread out the rice with a rice paddle. Slowly & evenly pour the sushi vinegar over the rice. Gently mix the rice with the rice paddle.
  6. That's it your sushi rice is ready to eat!
