Ingredients

2 cups uncooked glutinous white rice (sushi rice)
3 cups water
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Rinse rice under cold water in a strainer until water runs clear.
3 Combine rice and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 12 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, until tender, 10 minutes more. The rice will continue to steam. Remove lid; let rice cool.
4 Meanwhile, combine rice wine vinegar, sugar, oil, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook until sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool.
5 Stir vinegar mixture into rice. It may look wet at first, but keep stirring; rice will dry as it cools.
