How to Make Sushi Rice

Place sushi rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse rice under running water for 2-3 minutes, or until water runs clear.

Bring water and rice to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer for 20 minutes.*

In a separate small saucepan combine vinegar, sugar, and salt over medium heat. Whisk until sugar and salt have dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.

When rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and then pour the seasoned vinegar evenly over top. Toss until the rice is well coated using either a rice paddle or a silicone spatula. And be careful not to smush the rice, gently fold it until it's evenly mixed.

Cover the rice with a damp paper towel to prevent it from drying out and let it sit until it has cooled to room temperature.

Use to make sushi rolls or serve it up in a vegetarian sushi bowl.
