Easy & Perfect Sushi Rice

Step 1: Rinse the rice in a strainer or colander until the water runs clear. Combine w/water in a med saucepan & bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to low, cover & cook for 20 min. Rice should be tender & water should be absorbed. Cool until cool enough to handle.

Step 2: In a sml saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, oil, sugar & salt. Cook over med heat until the sugar dissolves. Cool & stir into the cooked rice. When you pour this into the rice, it will seem very wet. Keep stirring & the rice will dry as it cools.

NOTE: 1 reviewer made an clever suggestion & I tend to agree. After rinsing the rice, put it in a med-lrg saucepan w/all the remaining ingredients to complete the recipe using 1 pan. It saves prep time plus clean-up time, eliminates 1 of the cooling periods & also apparently better mellows the flavors.
