Categories: Stern2
Yield: 1 servings

4 c Short grain Japanese rice
-for sushi 1 L
4 1/4 c Cold water 1 L
1/2 c Seasoned rice vinegar 125 mL

Place rice in a large bowl. Cover with lots of cold water and swish rice
and water around until liquid is very cloudy. Drain rice and repeat a few
times until water is clear and you can count the grains of rice through the
water! Drain well.

Place rice in a Dutch oven and cover with 4 1/4 cups (1L plus 50 mL) cold
water. Cover and allow rice to sit 30 minutes (if you have time). On medium
heat, bring rice to a boil. Turn to high and boil 1 minute. Turn heat to
low and cook 10 minutes longer. Remove from heat and allow to stand 10
minutes before using.

Gently spoon rice into a large ceramic, glass or traditional wooden tub
(hangiri). Sprinkle with vinegar while gently tossing rice with a large
spoon. Add more vinegar to taste if necessary. If not using rice right
away, cover with a damp cloth.
