Prepare the rice after having washed it well by mixing the rice with the

Meanwhile, prepare the vinegar seasoning by heating the following mix-
ture over low heat: Rice vinegar, sugar, salt and rice wine
When the rice has been cooked, open the lid and let the rice settle for
10 min.
Spread the rice in a non metallic flat base container.
Using a rice paddle spread the rice and split it to avoid lumps, while
sprinkling it with vinegar mixture.
Note that the rice must not be reduced to pulp; therefore stop the ope-
ration as soon as the rice is humid and shiny. Aerate the rice using your
fingers by lifting it and turning it over from the outside of the container
towards the inside (as when the egg whites are folded in) and fan it with
the other hand until its warm. The rice must be shiny, slightly sticky but
without lumps. Keep it aside under a wet cloth while your sushi gets
ready.
