• 10 x 10 cm Konbu seaweed
• 35 ml Rice vinegar

Method

1. Sushi rice should be washed in cold water as many times as needed so the water runs clear

3. Cook the rice in a rice cooker as per instructions, or in a normal pot according to the below steps:
4. Put the rice in a pot, with water in ratio of 1:1, and let it soak for 15-20 minutes
5. Put a piece of Konbu seaweed in the pot and remove it after cooking
6. Then, bring the rice to a boil and simmer it at the lowest heat with the lid on until the rice has absorbed the water completely
7. In the meantime, prepare Sushi-Su, which is the vinegar mixture for Sushi rice
8. This has to be mixed with the rice immediately after the rice has finished cooking
9. Heat up 35 ml of Rice vinegar in a small pot
10. Dissolve 10 g Sea salt and 20 g white sugar in the vinegar
11. Then pour the Sushi-Su into a measuring cup
12. Put the cooked, hot rice in a bowl, add 35 ml of the Sushi-Su and mix it consistently into the rice with a wooden spoon (Shamoji)
13. Make sure to mix the rice thoroughly so that the kernels don’t stick together too much
14. Leave the finished Sushi rice to cool slowly for about 30 minutes
15. To avoid it drying out, the rice should be covered after 15 minutes with a damp cotton towel
