Ingredients
Instructions
Rinse rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water for 1-2 minutes until water runs clear. Drain and let sit for 5 minutes.
Cook rice using your preferred method: stovetop (boil, then simmer 15 min, rest 10 min), rice cooker (20-25 min), or Instant Pot (3 min low pressure + 10 min natural release).
Prepare sushi vinegar by heating rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat immediately.
Transfer hot rice to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle warm vinegar mixture over rice and fold gently for 1 minute until evenly coated.
Cover rice with a damp towel and let cool to room temperature for 20-30 minutes before serving or storing.
