Cooked Sushi Rice

Ingredients

• 250 g sushi rice
• 3 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp mirin
• 2 tsp coconut blossom sugar
• 1 tsp salt

Instructions

1. 1.

   Rinse the sushi rice in a sieve under cold water until the runoff is clear. Let it drain in the sieve for about 20 minutes.

2. 2.

   Add the sushi rice and 500 ml water to a pot and bring to a boil uncovered.

3. 3.

   Cook uncovered over medium heat for 2 minutes, then cover and let stand on the turned-off burner for 20 minutes.

4. 4.

   Remove the pot from the stove, lift the lid and cover the sushi rice with a kitchen towel – let it sit for 10 minutes.

5. 5.

   In a separate pot combine rice vinegar, mirin, coconut blossom sugar, and salt; heat without boiling. Stir until the sugar and salt dissolve. Transfer the cooked rice to a bowl, spread it out slightly to cool faster. Fold in the vinegar mixture and allow the rice to cool completely. Cover with a damp kitchen towel before further use.
