Rinse the rice several times, soak for 30 minutes, then cook using a 1:1.2 ratio of rice to water in a rice cooker or pot. Let rest for 10 minutes before seasoning.

Seasoned rice vinegar, which includes sugar and salt, is traditionally mixed into cooked sushi rice.

How much sushi rice do I need per person?

Can I substitute other rice types for sushi rice?

How do I season sushi rice?

Combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Pour over warm cooked rice and mix gently with a paddle or spatula while fanning.

This rice is really good. It doesn't stick to the pot when I cook it in a regular pot, and it's especially absorbent, soft, and has a rich aroma.

The packaging was incredibly careful. It's a glass bottle, but there's absolutely no worry of it breaking My son-in-law is Taiwanese and always uses this vinegar, so I wanted to try it myself and bought it I'm looking forward to it!

Taiwanese food is amazing; it's a must-have for making pickled yellow radish.

Gongyan vinegar is a staple in my home and a childhood favorite. It's a pity that they don't carry their aged glutinous rice vinegar on Weee, but I'm already very grateful to be able to buy this bottle without leaving home.
sablemi
It's suitable for making hot and sour soup, noodle soup, and stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar.

I usually use Hema Fresh in China, and this is my second order from Weee. It doesn't seem that much worse than Hema Fresh! The packaging is exquisite. For example, this bottle of white vinegar was wrapped in several layers of bubble wrap to ensure it arrived intact. I love using it for lunch! I'll definitely keep buying it!
