I tried making this after watching the Good Eats episode "Wake Up Little Sushi" with Alton Brown. It turned out really great. The original recipe called for 1 tbsp of kosher salt, but some reviewers said that it was way too much and that 1 tsp was plenty. I made this using only 1 tsp of kosher salt, so that is how I've posted it here.

SERVES 2 -4 , 4 cups cooked rice (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 cups sushi rice or short-grain rice
2 cups water, plus extra for rinsing rice
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

1
Place the rice into a saucepan and cover with cool water.
2
Swirl the rice in the water, pour off and repeat 2 to 3 times or until the water is clear.
3
Place rice and 2 cups of water into a medium saucepan and place over high heat; Bring to a boil, uncovered.
4
Once it begins to boil, reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cover; Cook for 15 minutes.
5
Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
6
Combine the rice vinegar, sugar and salt in a small bowl and heat in the microwave on high for 30 to 45 seconds.
7
Transfer the rice into a large wooden or glass mixing bowl and add the vinegar mixture.
8
Fan the rice (a paper plate works well) while gently folding in the vinegar mixture.
9
Allow to cool to room temperature before using to make sushi or sashimi.
