Directions

Rinse the rice (4dl) in a strainer until the water that runs through becomes clear.

2

Poor the rice into a pot, add the water (4dl) and let it sit for 30 minutes with the lid on.

3

In the meantime; Prepare the vinegar mix by mixing the ingredients in a pot, and stir while heating gently on the lowest heat until the sugar and salt has dissolved into the vinegar. Let it cool off.

4

Stir the rice and start the stove up at maximum temperature.

5

Bring it to a boil for 2 minutes, then lower the temperature to the minimum and leave on the stove for 15 minutes. Keep the lid on.

6

Take the pot away from the heat and let it slowly cool off with the lid still on, for 10 minutes.

7

Poor the vinegar mix (or ready-made sushi vinegar) onto the rice and stir gently until the rice is completely covered by the mix and there are no lumps in the rice.
