Sushi Rice Recipe

1 1/2C- Sushi Rice
1 1/2C- Water
1T- Mirin

1. Wash Rice Thoroughly (I had a large bowl, then put the rice in a colander and then rinsed it with very cold water, it's easier to drain this way)
2. Set it aside for 30 minutes to rest
3. Put the rice, the water & mirin in the slow cooker- let it all sit there for 20 to 30 minutes THEN switch on the rice cooker.

Meanwhile put...

4T- Rice Vinegar
2T- Sugar
1tea- Salt

in a small saucepan on low heat until the sugar disolves and leave it to cool.

Once rice is "ready" pour the rice out into a wooden bowl and "cut" with a rice paddle and pour the disolved mixture over the rice... use a fan or do this in front of an open breezy window.
Cut and mix for 10 minute until the rice is cool. Avoid any burnt pieces from the rice cooker.

Cover your rice with a damp cloth.
