- 180 ml short grain rice such as Koshihikari

- 2x2 inch strip kombu
Sushi vinegar
- 175 grams rice vinegar

Directions
- Rinse rice with a strainer and add to rice cooker.
- Optionally, soak rice for 20-30 minutes to improve texture.
- Add water and kombu.
- Cook rice and stir partway through to stop rice from burning on the bottom.
- While rice is cooking, heat vinegar, sugar, and salt on stove with low heat until everything is dissolved and immediately remove from heat.
