Step-by-Step Instructions

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Place the rice and water in a large saucepan over medium-high heat without a lid.

Bring the water to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the water is fully absorbed. Do not stir or lift the lid during this process.

Remove the pan from the heat and let it sit undisturbed with the lid on for 15 minutes to allow the rice to finish steaming.

While the rice rests, prepare the sushi seasoning by mixing the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves.

Spread the warm rice into a large flat pan or bowl. Drizzle half of the vinegar seasoning over it. Using a rice paddle or rubber spatula, use a 'cutting' and folding motion to mix the seasoning without crushing the grains.
