Equipment

  • instant pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Calrose rice
  • cups water
  • 2 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Start by washing your rice, in a bowl add water and clean your rice until the water is clear about 2-3 times. I also like to use a strainer under the faucet and cleanse the rice with my hand while the water washes away the starch.

  • Pour the clean rice into your instant pot along with 1 ½ cups of water. Turn your instant pot on to pressure cook on high for 5 minutes. I do not recommend using the rice option on your instant pot in my experience the rice comes out overcooked and mushy.

  • Once the pressure cooker has finished cooking let the pressure self-release, If you need the rice quicker let it self-release for at least 5 minutes and then you can manually release the pressure.
  • Gently mix in 2 tablespoon of seasoned rice vinegar to the cooked sushi rice while the rice is still hot. Now your Sushi rice is ready to make your sushi rolls.
