- Once all of the water has been absorbed remove from heat. With towels cover the pan to maintain the internal heat. Give it 20 more minutes or so to finish.
- While rice is finishing up combine the rice vinegar, mirin, sugar and salt in a sauce pan. Warm it while stirring occasionally to dissolver all sugar and salt. Remove from heat and set aside.
