Mom's Sushi Rice
Ingredients
-
2 ¼ cups Japanese sushi-style rice
-
1 (4 inch) piece konbu dried kelp (Optional)
-
3 cups water
-
¼ cup rice vinegar
-
¼ cup white sugar
-
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
Instructions
Transfer the rice into a large, deep bowl. Fill with cold water and gently rub the rice with your hands until the water becomes cloudy and white. Carefully drain off the milky water without losing any rice. Repeat this process 3 to 4 times, until the water is clear and you can see the rice under 3 inches of water.
Rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer, then transfer it to a saucepan. Add the konbu and 3 cups of water. Let the rice sit for 30 minutes. In a small bowl, mix together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until fully dissolved, then set it aside.
Cover the saucepan and bring the rice to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
Transfer the rice to a bowl and discard the konbu. Pour in the vinegar mixture and stir until the rice is evenly coated and there are no lumps. Let the rice cool to room temperature. For an extra glossy finish, use a fan to cool the rice quickly.
