Sushi Rice in a Cooking Pot (no rice cooker!)

Instructions

• 1. Wash the rice well and drain (do it 5 times). Transfer the rice in the bowl and add enough water to soak. Soak for about 30 minutes.
• 2. In the meantime, make the vinegar seasoning. Add the vinegar, sugar and salt in a small cooking pot. And cook over medium heat until almost boiling. Melt completely the sugar and the salt. Set aside.
• 3. Drain the rice and transfer into a cooking pot. Add water (640ml). Cover and cook over medium-high heat, bring it to a boil. Once it boils, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
• 4. Remove from the heat (do NOT open the lid yet!) and let the rice steam for another 10 minutes with the lid on.
• 5. Moisten a "Sushi-Oke" (or a large glass bowl), and transfer the rice into it. Pour the vinegar seasoning in one go. Slice the rice, let it cool down, using a hand fan occasionally.
• 6. Once it has cooled to room temperature, cover with saran wrap until you are ready to serve!
