½ cuprice vinegar

4 Tbspsugar

1 Tbspsalt

Instructions

Step 1

1. Wash rice before cooking, soak in the water for half an hour.

Step 2

2. Use a little less water to cook rice. As you’re adding vinegar mix to season rice, cooked rice texture is harder than regular rice.

Step 3

3. While cooking rice, mix vinegar, sugar and salt. If sugar doesn’t dissolve, microwave for about 10 to 20 seconds.

Step 4

4. After cooking rice, put the rice into wooden bowl (or any kind of bowl). Then pour vinegar mix over the rice and mix lightly, slice rice, from one side of the bowl to the other side. Make sure there will be no lumps.

Step 5

5. After seasoning rice, cool it down with a fan for a minute. This helps rice grains to absorb more seasoned vinegar as well as giving rice to shine.

Step 6

6. As rice keep drying, cover them with wet towel. The perfect temperature to handle seasoned rice is a body temperature. Do not keep the rice in refrigerator as it gets too hard.
