Ingredients
- 3 cups short grain rice or sushi rice
- 1/4 cup Japanese rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- water for cooking the rice
Instructions
- Rinse the rice with cold water until the water runs clear.
- Cook the rice on the stovetop, in a rice cooker, or in the Instant Pot. If you use a rice cooker or Instant pot, cook the rice according to the manufacturer's instructions. My rice cooker takes 4 cups of water to cook 3 cups of rice.
- While the rice is cooking, add the rice vinegar, sugar and salt together in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat and whisk until the sugar has dissolved.
- Transfer the cooked rice to a large mixing bowl. Pour the vinegar mixture over the rice and use a spatula to fold the mixture into the rice.
- Cover the bowl with saran wrap and let the rice cool on the counter until it reaches room temperature.
