Techniques for perfect Sushi Rice
- Rinse the rice. Rinsing the rice is a critical step to removing the excess starch that can turn your rice into an over-sticky mess.
- Season your rice. White rice does not mean flavorless. I like to use seasoned rice vinegar to season my rice.
Yield: About 2 cups cooked rice

Ingredients
- 3/4 cup white sushi rice
- 1 cup of water
- 1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
Instructions
- Rinse the rice: In a large sieve, rinse the rice until the water runs clear. This takes about 3 minutes.
- Bring to a bowl: In a lidded saucepan, add the rinsed rice and 1 cup of water to the saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. When the rice first starts to steam, turn off the heat and remove the pan from the burner for 3 minutes.
- Return to heat: Place the pan back on the burner and turn the heat to low. Simmer over low for 8 to 10 minutes until the water is absorbed.
- To serve: Stir in one tablespoon of seasoned rice vinegar. Immediately remove the rice from the pan so that the rice doesn’t overcook or dry out.
