INSTRUCTIONS

Transfer rice to a bowl and pour vinegar over the rice. Fan rice and mix with vinegar gently. Note that you must mix vinegar with freshly cooked rice. Allow to cool to room temperature before making sushi.

To make seasoned rice wine vinegar, combine 1 1/2 cups unseasoned rice wine vinegar with 5 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of kosher salt until sugar and salt are dissolved.

NOTES

Fir Rice Wine Vinegar:
Green label = raw (unseasoned) vinegar which is 100% acidity - not good for making sushi rice
Orange lable = already seasoned, much better for making sushi rice

4 cup Rice short or medium sushi grain - eg Nishiki
4 cups Water
1/2 cup Rice wine vinegar seasoned (see notes)

Place rice in a large bowl and wash at least three times with cold water (note only once is needed in US due to USDA regulations on rice).  Drain rice, then place in a large saucepot and add water.  Soak the mixture for 15 minutes.  If using an automatic rice cooker, follow manufacture's instructions.  Otherwise, bring to a boil, uncovered. Once it begins to boil, reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cover. Cook for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
