Sweet, sticky and so versatile!

Step 1
Add 250g sushi rice to 350ml of cold water.
Step 2
Bring to the boil, and then bring it down to a simmer for 10 mins with the lid on.
Step 3
Turn off the heat and leave the lid on, and leave it to stand for another 15mins, without lifting the lid.
Step 4
For the marinade, add 5tbsp of rice vinegar, and 1tsp salt to a pan.
Step 5
Heat the mixture for one minute on low-medium heat, stirring continuously.
Step 6
Gradually fold in the seasoning mixture until the rice has cooled to room temperature.
