Directions

  1. Rinse the rice until the water runs clear and drain it: rinsing removes excess starch, and the rice should only become sticky when mixed with the vinegar. ≈ 2 min
  2. Place the rice and water in a saucepan, without any seasoning, bring to a boil, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, then turn off the heat and let it stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
  3. While you’re doing that, combine the vinegar, sugar, and salt in a bowl and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  4. Pour: Place the cooked rice in a large bowl, drizzle with the seasoned vinegar, and gently mix. Allow to cool at room temperature before using.
