Ingredients
Equipment
Whisk
Small saucepan
Spatula
Large mixing bowl
Fine-mesh strainer
Rice cooker or stovetop pot
Instructions
Rinse the Japanese short-grain rice under cold running water in a large fine-mesh strainer for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the water runs completely clear. Ensure the rice is thoroughly drained.
Combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of water and the optional kombu in your preferred cooking vessel (e.g., stovetop pot, rice cooker, or Instant Pot). Cook according to standard methods until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
While the rice cooks, combine the unseasoned rice vinegar, sugar, and fine sea salt in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat until the mixture almost reaches a simmer. Remove from heat and whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved. Alternatively, the mixture can be heated in a microwave until the sugar dissolves.
Immediately transfer the hot, cooked rice to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the prepared sushi vinegar dressing evenly over the rice. Using a spatula, gently fold the rice with a slicing and lifting motion, rather than stirring or mashing, until the vinegar is uniformly incorporated.
Cover the mixing bowl with a damp towel, ensuring it lightly touches the surface of the rice to prevent drying. Allow the seasoned rice to cool to room temperature on the counter or in the refrigerator.
Use the prepared sushi rice immediately as desired, or transfer it to an airtight food storage container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
