Sushi Rice
500 g rice, rinsed thoroughly
660 ml water
Bring to a boil and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes with the lid on.
Turn off the heat and let it sit with the lid on for an additional 15-20 minutes.
A rice cooker can also be used; in that case, rinse the rice and then add 500 ml of water to the pot along with the rice.
Transfer the rice to a large dish (e.g., a baking dish) and spread it out to cool.
While the rice is still hot, pour the following vinegar mixture over the rice:
3 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp mirin (rice wine)
3 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
Once the rice has cooled completely, you can start assembling sushi with your favorite filling.
