Steps to Make Perfect Sushi Rice (Homemade Version)
1. Put the rice in a large bowl and wash it with cold running water. Repeat washing until there is no more starch coming out of it and the water becomes almost clear.
2. Drain the rice in a colander and set aside for 30 minutes.
3. Place the rice in a rice cooker and add water. Let the rice soak in the water for at least 30 minutes.
4. Start the cooker. When rice is cooked, let it steam for about 15 minutes.
5. Spread the hot steamed rice into a large plate or a large bowl. Use a nonmetallic bowl to prevent any interaction with rice vinegar.
6. Sprinkle the vinegar mixture over the rice and fold the rice with a shamoji (rice spatula) quickly. Be careful not to smash the rice.
7. Your sushi rice is now ready to be used in all types of delicious sushi.
