Instructions

1
Rinse the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold running water, stirring with your hand, until the water runs nearly clear, about 1–2 minutes. Drain well.
2
Combine the rinsed rice and 2 1/4 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the rice steam, covered, for 10 minutes — do not lift the lid during this time.
