Sushi rice recipe: what ingredients are needed?

For the sushi rice recipe, Here is the list of ingredients you will need:

for 3 to 4 people.
300 g of round or medium rice (Calrose)
450 ml of cold water

How to make sushi rice?

Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Let it drain for 30 minutes in a colander. Prepare the vinegar mixture: put the ingredients in a small saucepan.
Dissolve the sugar and salt. If necessary, bring to a brief boil to reduce the intensity of the mixture. Instead of this vinegar mixture, you can use a ready-made preparation (Mizkan).

Cooking method 1: Put the rice and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook for 10 minutes covered.
Remove the pan from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes.

Cooking method 2: Put the rice and water in a rice cooker.
Remove the rice as soon as it is cooked. After cooking, pour the rice into a non-metallic bowl (traditionally a wooden bowl or hangiri).
Briefly fluff the rice and gently incorporate the vinegar mixture, or Mizkan.

The dosage is 30 ml to 40 ml for 400 g to 500 g of cooked rice.
Allow to cool in the open air before use.
