Instructions

Crispy Rice Bun

Step 1

Wash sushi rice until the water runs clear (at least 5 times) and cook in a rice cooker.

Step 2

Combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it and season with rice vinegar mix.

Step 3

Place cooked rice in a cling film lined baking sheet (10" x 13" is perfect). Wrap in another layer of cling film and place another tray on top with some weights or heavy items to press it down. Refrigerate at least 2 hours to set.
