Instant Pot Sushi Rice

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice in a fine mesh strainer under cool running water for a few minutes. Drain well.

Step 2

In the insert of the Instant Pot, combine the water and sushi rice. Close the Instant Pot lid, set the valve on “sealing”, and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Once completed, turn off the Instant Pot and wait 10 minutes to naturally release the pressure. Quick-release any remaining pressure* and remove the lid.

Step 3

Using a fork, fluff the perfectly cooked sushi rice. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl or in a small saucepan, combine the white wine vinegar, rice vinegar, oil, sugar, and salt. Mix until the salt and sugar are dissolved. Microwave for 15 seconds, if needed.

Step 5

Pour over the bowl of cooked sushi rice and gently mix to combine. Use the sushi rice to make sushi rolls or a sushi bowl.
