Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Rice, white, long grain

• 115 ml Vinegar, distilled

• 1 spoon Sugar, white

• 0.5 teaspoons Salt, table

Steps

1. Place the rice in a colander and rinse under running water until the water runs clear. Transfer the rinsed rice to a pot and add water. The water should just cover the rice; the correct ratio of water to rice is 1.25:1. Place the pot on high heat and cook the rice until it boils. Stir the rice well every minute or two. Once the water boils, reduce the heat to the lowest setting, stop stirring, and cover the pot. After eight minutes of cooking, check how much water is left in the pot. Cook the rice until it softens and absorbs all the water in the pot.
