Sushi Rice

Here is a simple recipe for making sushi rice.

Ingredients

* 3 cups short-grain sushi rice
* 3 1/4 cups water
* 1/3 cup rice vinegar
* 3 Tbsp sugar
* 1 tsp salt
Make Japanese rice in a rice cooker. In a separate saucepan, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt and heat just until the sugar is dissolved. When the rice is done and still hot, dump the rice into a wooden bowl.

Add the vinegar mixture and start mixing until incorporated. Ideally, you would blow a fan on the rice while you are stirring to cool the rice, but this is not necessary.
