      Rinse the rice in several changes of cold water until it runs almost clear. Drain 15 minutes.

    3. 3

      Warm the vinegar, sugar and salt until dissolved.

    4. 4

      Spread the hot rice in a wide bowl, drizzle with the vinegar and cut through with a paddle while fanning until glossy and body temperature.
