Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Sushi rice
  • ½ C sushi vinegar add Konbu for the umami flavor

Instructions

To Cook Rice

  • 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.
