- While rice is cooking, over medium heat, mix together 1/3 cup of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, 3 tablespoons of white sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Cool the mixture.
- Pour vinegar mixture into rice. As the rice dries and you stir, the rice will become less wet.
