Author Jim

Ingredients

  • 1 cup medium grain rice (in your grocery, this is probably arborio)
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup rice vinegar (apple cider works great too)

Instructions

  • Rinse uncooked rice under cold water for about a minute. This helps remove excess starch and gives a more pleasant texture.
  • In a saucepan, bring 2 cups water to boil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to a boil. Stir in 1 cup of rinsed rice. Cover. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until all water is absorbed.
  • In a separate bowl, combine sugar, remaining salt, and vinegar. Microwave for 30 seconds to dissolve.
  • Pour dressing evenly over rice and fold gently with a spoon to mix. Serve warm to room temperature.*

Notes

*Traditionally you would fan the rice to dry it for sushi. This isn't for sushi, so the fussiness isn't called for.
