Sushi Rice
Use this rice as a backdrop for your own home-rolled sushi, or pair it with various kinds of sliced fish and vegetables,
pickled ginger and wasabi for a sushi bowl.
Ingredients
2 cups sushi rice
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
⅓ cup rice vinegar
Directions
In a fine strainer, rinse the rice with cold running water, until
water runs clear. Pour rice into pot with 2 cups cold water;
let sit 30 minutes.
Bring rice to a boil over medium-high heat; immediately turn heat to low, and cover. Cook 10 minutes, remove from heat and let sit, covered, 15 minutes. In a small saucepan, dissolve the sugar and salt in the rice vinegar over a low flame. Pour evenly over rice and fold gently with a wooden spoon to mix. Leave rice in front of a fan, or fan with a piece of cardboard for 15 minutes or until rice is just above room temperature.
