Sushi Rice (Vinegared Rice) is Japanese home cooking, eaten at lunch and dinner. On the plate it is the carb everything else is eaten with. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.

2 cups sushi rice
3 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt

How to cook it

Rinse the sushi rice until the water runs mostly clear, then cook with 2.25 cups water as usual.
Warm the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt together just until dissolved, then let cool.
Spread the hot cooked rice in a wide shallow bowl and drizzle with the vinegar mixture.
Fold gently with a rice paddle while fanning to cool it quickly and give the grains a glossy sheen.
