Instructions

Rinse the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold running water, stirring with your hand, until the water runs mostly clear, about 1–2 minutes. Transfer to a medium saucepan, add 1 3/4 cups water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let steam, covered, for 10 minutes.

While the rice steams, combine the rice vinegar, 1 1/2 tbsp organic cane sugar, and salt in a small bowl and stir until the sugar and salt dissolve.
