Notes
*Nutritional facts provided are only an estimate, accuracy is not guaranteed.
- Measuring cup used is the standard US measuring cup, not the cup that came with the rice cooker.
- Make sure to drain the rice well after rinsing it, otherwise the rice may get too mushy.
- Initially, it may look like the rice vinegar is too much, but it will take a couple of minutes for it to thoroughly soak into the rice.
- If using the rice to make rolls, transfer the rice into a bowl and cover with a wet cloth or paper towel to keep it moist.
