Food: Sushi

• ½ cup uncooked short grain white sushi rice
• 2/4-cup water
• 2 Tbs. rice vinegar
• ¾ tsp vegetable oil (sesame or sunflower)
• 1 Tbs. white sugar
• ¼ tsp. salt

Rinse the rice in a strainer to remove any residues. Combine the rice and the water in a medium saucepan. Bring to the boil, reduce heat, cover and cook for 20 minutes or until rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Cool the rice until cold enough to handle.

In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, oil, sugar and salt and cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Cool, the mixtures and stir it into the rice. The rice will first appear very wet but as you stir it will dry as it cools.
