Ingredients

450 g	sushi rice, Japanese short grain rice (Nishiki)
600 ml	water
100 ml	rice vinegar
2 tbsp	sugar
1 tsp	salt
4 drop(s)	soy sauce

Instructions

Rinse the rice in a sieve with water until the water comes out clear. Afterwards drain well. In a saucepan, combine the rice with the water and allow to soak for 20 minutes.

Cover the saucepan with a well fitting lid and switch on the heat to low-medium. When hot, switch to the highest mark and bring to a boil. Immediately switch down to the lowest mark and allow to soak for 10 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Place a twice-folded kitchen towel between the saucepan and the lid and let the rice soak for another 10 minutes.

In a saucepan mix the rice vinegar with soy sauce, sugar and salt (But in advance have a look on the vinegar bottle: the rice vinegar could already be seasoned with salt and sugar.). Heat until the sugar and the salt are dissolved. Pour the mixture over the rice and mix well.

Allow the rice to cool. Afterwards the rice is ready for making sushi. If needed later, cover the rice with a damp kitchen towel until required.
