# How to Make Sushi Rice in a Rice Cooker

Cuisine: vietnamese · Time: 52 minutes · Servings: 4

## Ingredients

- 1 1/2 cups sushi rice (or 2 rice cooker cups, I’m using Nishiki medium grain)
- 1 3/4 cups water
- 3 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar (can sub with white vinegar)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

## Steps

1. Place the rice in a large fine mesh strainer and rinse under running water until the water runs mostly clear. Alternatively, you can put the rice directly in the rice cooker bowl, add water, swirl the rice around, and tilt the bowl to drain the water. Repeat until the water is mostly clear.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, add rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds, or until the sugar has dissolved. Note that the salt may not fully dissolve. You can also add these ingredients directly to hot rice.
3. Once rice is cooked, pour the vinegar mixture over the rice. Using a rice paddle, incorporate the mixture into the rice with a slicing motion to prevent breaking the grains.
4. Allow the rice to cool slightly before using it for sushi. Keep a large bowl of water nearby to wet your hands while handling the rice. This will prevent the rice from sticking to your hands.
