I love this idea. Got any good tips on making sushi rice?

  I hate to say this, but I leave that to my wife. She grew up eating sushi rice, so she's very good at making it. I grew up eating the microwaveable rice. I can make a mean bowl of microwaved rice, but I'm pretty awful at sushi rice... This year I'll get her to teach me. What I will say: the rice she makes is just rice and water in a saucepan. Nothing too complicated. It's about selecting the correct rice, the ratio of rice+water, heat, and timing. My goal this year is to figure that out.

  Buy good rice. At the very least it has to be round grain. Wash the rice thoroughly. Use a little less water than you think you need. Experiment with different recipes for mixing vinegar/mirin/sugar, and save the one you like. It's not particularly hard, just takes some trial and error. If you already make good rice you are almost done already, then it's just down to flavoring.
