Ingredients
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Cook the rice according to package instructions, usually with a water-to-rice ratio of 1:1.25.
- Once cooked, season the rice with rice vinegar and sesame oil if desired. Let it cool slightly.
