Equipment

  • 1 Pot for cooking sushi rice
  • 1 Large Bowl to cool rice after it's done cooking
  • Parchment paper to line bowl

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Sushi Rice dried, will cook up to 5-6 cups
  • ½ cup Sushi Vinegar

Instructions

  • Rinse 2 cups of sushi rice by placing it in a colander and running water through it until the water is clear.
  • After the rice is rinsed, add it to a sauce pan with 2 1/2 cups of water.
  • Bring the water to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let the rice simmer until the water is absorbed and the rice is soft. This usually takes 20-30 minutes.
  • Remove the rice from the heat and scoop into a bowl or dish to let cool. I would line the dish with parchment paper prior to adding the rice to avoid sticking.
  • Mix 1/4 cup of sushi vinegar into your rice. Stir until it has absorbed into the rice. Once cooled and fully absorbed, your rice is ready to roll!
