Yield Makes 10 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 cups sushi rice
4 3/4 cups water
1 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons sea salt
1 tablespoon mirin
10 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2-inch square piece konbu

Steps:

  • Place rice in a sieve and submerge in a large bowl of cold water. Rinse, gently rubbing rice, under cold running water until the water is no longer cloudy. Drain, and set aside until partially dried, about 20 minutes.
  • Transfer rice to a rice cooker and add water. Cook for 30 minutes, and turn off. Let stand, without removing cover, for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan combine 3/4 cup vinegar, salt, mirin, and sugar. Simmer until sugar dissolves. Add konbu, and remove from heat; let cool. When cool, add remaining 1/4 cup vinegar.
  • Transfer steamed rice to a rice tub. Pour over about 2/3 cup vinegar mixture. With a rice paddle, mix using a slicing motion. Let stand until cool enough to handle.
