Sticky Sushi Rice Recipe
Ingredients:
-1 cups short grain rice
-1 cups water, plus more for rinsing
-1 tbsp rice vinegar
-1 tbsp sugar
-1/2 tbsp salt
Instructions:
1. In a mesh strainer, add rice and rinse with water. Swirl the rice in the water and repeat until the water comes out clear.
2. Place the rice and 1 cup of water in a small saucepan over high heat uncovered. Bring the water to a boil then reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cover. Cook for 10 minutes, remove for the heat and let stand for 10 minutes, still covered.
3. While the rice is cooking, combine the other ingredients in a small microwave safe bowl and stir them together. Heat the ingredients in a microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring between each session. You should need to do this 2-3 times before the ingredients have really combined.
4. Transfer the rice to a wooden or glass bowl. Add the vinegar mixture and with a wooden spoon stir the rice and vinegar together, making sure they have thoroughly combined and coated every piece of rice. Allow to cool to room temperature or store in fridge until ready to use.
