Equipment

  • ▢ small bowl
  • ▢ mixing spoon
  • ▢ measuring cups and spoons
  • ▢ Crockpot
  • ▢ large bowl (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • ▢ Sushi rice - 1 cup
  • ▢ Water - 1¼ cup
  • ▢ Rice Wine Vinegar - 2½ Tbsp
  • ▢ Organic Coconut Palm Sugar - ½Tbsp
  • ▢ Himalayan Pink Salt - ½ tsp

Instructions
 

Sushi Dressing

  • Gather all ingredients and cooking equipment.
  • Add the rice wine vinegar, coconut sugar, and Himalayan pink salt to a small bowl and stir until dissolved.

Sushi Rice

  • Rinse and drain sushi rice well. Water should be clear and not cloudy.
  • Add the rinsed sushi rice to the crock pot and cook using the rice, high pressure, and high temperature settings. The rice will take about 12-15 minutes to cook (depending on your crockpot abilities).
  • Once complete, allow the rice to sit for 10 minutes.
  • Fold the sushi dressing in the rice and use immediately.

Notes

  • the sushi rice will be very sticky once the dressing is added
  • if you cannot use the sushi rice immediately then place a damp cloth over the mouth of the pan or container for no more than 2 hours. This keeps the sushi from drying out
  • fold in the sushi dressing instead of mixing or stirring helps keep the rice firm and not mushy
