👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Rinse the rice in cold water until the water runs clear, and drain.
    Colander
  2. 2
    In a pot, bring the water to a boil, add the rice and stir once.
    StovePot
  3. 3
    Turn down to low, cover and simmer 15 minutes' without opening the lid'.
    ⚙ SimmeringStoveLid
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  4. 4
    Turn off the heat and leave covered for 10 minutes.
    Lid
  5. 5
    Dissolve the sugar and salt in the rice vinegar and mix into the hot rice with cutting strokes.
    Silicone spatula
    💡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.
