Sushi Rice
- Rinse rice in a colander under cold water several times until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan bring water, rice, and salt to a boil. Reduce to the low heat, cover and cook for 10-12 minutes. Turn off heat and let rice sit covered, another 10 minutes to steam.
- Place hot rice in a large bowl and allow to cool, tossing occasionally.
- While the rice is cooling, combine the rice vinegar and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar has dissolved. Turn off heat and allow to cool.
- Once the rice is cool, toss with cooled rice vinegar mixture, tossing until well mixed.
- Cover sushi rice with a damp towel until ready to use.
