Soak rice in water for 30-45 minutes or rinse well - until water drains slightly clear removing excess starch.
Once you have rinsed the rice, place in a medium pot with water and 1/4 tsp. salt.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook for 20 minutes for unsoaked rice, 15 minutes for soaked rice. Remove from heat, transfer to a large bowl and let cool.
During last 10 minutes of rice cooking - add vinegar, sugar and salt to a separate small saucepan. Place over low heat whisking continiously until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat.
Pour vinegar mixture over rice. Toss to mix.
The rice is now ready to use in a sushi roll or in a sushi bowl!
