This rice is perfect for making various kinds of sushi. For best results, spread the rice out to cool to room temperature before using. Because of the vinegar, it's best to use non-reactive utensils, bowls or pans when preparing it.

ingredients

2 cups sushi rice
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup rice wine vinegar

directions

Rinse the rice under running water until the water runs clear (let the water run for 3-5 minutes).

Place the drained rice in a saucepan and add the water. Cover the pan and bring to a boil over high heat.

Once the water is a a boil, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 15 minutes, covered tightly.

Remove the pan from the heat and set aside with the lid on.

Combine the salt and rice wine vinegar.

Spread the rice out on a mat, cookie sheet, or platter. Sprinkle evenly with the vinegar mixture so all the rice is coated, using a wooden spoon to gently mix the rice. Let the sushi rice cool. Use as desired when the sushi rice is completely cooled.

To work with the sushi rice, wet your fingers to the rice doesn't stick.

    So, if you can't use metal pans, what do you cook the rice in?

    • You can cook it in a metal pan but make sure to mix it with the vinegar in something non-reactive.

    Used this for sushi tonight and this worked perfect. I cut the recipe in half because I didn't need that much.
