Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup (60 ml) Rice Vinegar (unseasoned preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons (25 g) Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (6 g) Kosher Salt (or ½ teaspoon fine sea salt)

Instructions:

  1. In a small saucepan (or a bowl), combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt.
  2. If using a saucepan, heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved. If using a bowl, whisk vigorously until dissolved; this may take a little longer.
  3. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
  4. Once the rice is cooked and slightly cooled (but still warm), gently drizzle the seasoning over the rice, using a rice paddle (shamoji) to gently fold it in.
  5. Taste the rice and adjust the sushi rice seasoning if needed. You might prefer a little more sugar or a touch more salt depending on your preference.
