\n

1 cup rice vinegar<\/p>\n

3\/8 cup sugar<\/p>\n

2 tablespoons salt, plus a pinch<\/p>\n

1 piece konbu (kelp), about 3 or 4 inches square<\/p>\n

2 cups short-grain white rice<\/p>\n

1 teaspoon sake, optional. <\/strong><\/p>\n

1. <\/strong>Combine vinegar, sugar and 2 tablespoons salt in a container and shake or stir until dissolved. Add konbu and let sit about 30 minutes before removing konbu and covering container. Let sit for at least 2 hours and up to several days. (Room temperature is fine.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

2. <\/strong>Wash rice in several changes of water until water runs clear. Combine with sake, a pinch of salt, and 2 1\/2 cups water (if you\u2019re using a rice cooker) or 3 cups water (if you\u2019re cooking it on stovetop). Cook until water is absorbed, 38 minutes in a rice cooker, about 25 minutes in a covered pot over medium-low heat.<\/p>\n

3. <\/strong>Turn rice into a large bowl, preferably wooden, and let cool for 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

4. <\/strong>Using a rubber spatula, a wooden paddle or spoon, gently fold sweetened vinegar into rice, a little at a time. You will probably need about 1\/2 cup for this amount of rice, but a little bit less or more is fine. Rice should be glistening and moist but not wet, and sweet but not overly so. Use immediately with sushi toppings of your choice.<\/p>\n

Yield<\/strong>: Enough rice for 4 generous or 6 small portions of sushi.<\/p>\n
