Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi or short grain rice
- 2 cups water, plus extra for rinsing rice
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
Directions
Place the rice into a mixing bowl and cover with cool water. Swirl the rice in the water, pour off and repeat 2 to 3 times or until the water is clear.
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

PERFECT!! Be careful to use the good kind of seasoned rice vinegar for one, and ensure you use COURSE salt. It doesn't have to be Kosher - I used course sea salt and it turned out absolutely delicious!! In terms of amount, it depends on how much sushi you are making. We made enough to make Nagiri for 5 people (1 lb of salmon and .4 lbs of smoked salmon and I probably had perhaps 1 cup of left over rice which our Shitzu enjoyed!

Works great whenever I make sushi. I always end up with too much rice, so it even makes good left over rice to serve with some meat or veggies.

I've used this recipe about a dozen or so times.
I think it makes a very good sushi rice.
The only thing I do different is to mix the kosher salt in separately at the very end.
Thank you Alton!
