   ⚙ SimmeringStoveLid

   💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.

   Turn off the heat and leave covered for 10 minutes.

   Mix the rice vinegar into the hot rice with cutting strokes.

   💡Fold in the seasoning with cutting strokes rather than stirring: the grains stay whole, and the rice is only as sticky as it needs to be.
