  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 1/2 tablespoons japanese vinegar

  • When cooking period is over, let it rest in the rice cooker for 5 minutes, without opening.
  • While the rice is cooking, combine all your Shari ingredients and whisk till ALL the sugar has dissolved.
  • Take rice, transfer to wooden hanigiri (or bowl, if you don't have one, but results will not be as satisfying) and sprinkle shari onto the rice.
  • Using a rice paddle, mix and toss the sushi rice in a side way cutting motion. As you do this, get someone to use a hand fan and fan your rice. Keep on mixing for around 10 minutes. Cover the Hanigiri or your bowl with a damp cloth as you get your other ingredients for sushi ready.
