Sushi rice is a short-grain rice that is used to make sushi rolls. It is cooked with vinegar, sugar, and salt, which gives it a slightly sweet and tangy flavor. Sushi rice is sticky and holds together well, making it perfect for rolling into sushi. To make sushi rice, you need to rinse the rice several times to remove excess starch, then cook it in a rice cooker or on the stovetop. Once the rice is cooked, you add the vinegar mixture and stir it gently to combine. Sushi rice is a staple in Japanese cuisine and is also used in other Asian dishes.
