Place rice in a fine sieve and place the sieve in a bowl of water. Rise thoroughly changing the water in the bowl at least 3 times until the water runs completely clean when you remove the sieve from the bowl. Drain well.
Place rice and water into the rice cooker, turn it on, and wait for rice to cook. Proceed to the Finishing Rice Section.
To Flavor Rice
Allow rice to rest for 20 mins
Invert rice into a large wooden bowl.
Fold the vinegar into rice with a rubber spatula or a wooden spoon. Use a cutting and folding motion when stirring rice to avoid squashing the rice grains and releasing their starch. Taste the rice. It should have a pleasantly sweet-acidic edge. If necessary, fold in more vinegar mixture.
Wet a dish towel and cover the rice. Let it rest for 20 mins to develop flavor.
