Place the rice and 2 cups of water into a medium saucepan and place over high
heat. 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.
 
Combine the rice vinegar, sugar and salt in a small bowl and heat in the microwave
on high for 30 to 45 seconds. Transfer the rice into a large wooden or glass
mixing bowl and add the vinegar mixture. Fold thoroughly to combine and coat each
grain of rice with the mixture. Allow to cool to room temperature before using to
make sushi or sashimi.
