How to make sushi rice in a rice cooker, to use for homemade sushi.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups sushi rice ((I use Nishiki))
  • 2 cups filtered water
  • 1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar ((I use Marukan))

Directions

  1. 1

    Place the rice and water into a rice cooker. Cook according to the “white rice” setting on the cooker.

  2. 2

    When the rice has finished cooking, evenly pour the seasoned vinegar all over the cooked grains. Toss everything around to further distribute the vinegar, taking care to be gentle, and not mash the grains, or they will become gluey.

  3. 3

    It is now ready to be used for sushi. Here’s my post on homemade sushi.
