How to Make Sushi Now Sushi Rice

  1. Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh sieve under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
  2. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a medium saucepan. Add salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce heat to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and let the rice steam, covered, for 10 minutes without lifting the lid.
  5. Fluff the rice gently with a rice paddle or fork. (Optional: If using rice vinegar and sugar, gently stir them into the rice while it's still warm.)
  6. Let the rice cool slightly before using it in your sushi rolls or other dishes.
