Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup (185 ml / 6.3 fl oz) rice vinegar
  • ⅓ cup (70 g / 2.47 oz) unrefined sugar, finely ground
  • 3 teaspoons (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) sea salt
  • For best absorption, gently fold the dressing into freshly cooked, warm rice. The heat helps the grains soak up the flavor evenly.
  • Store leftovers in a sealed, non-metal container in the refrigerator for up to six weeks. Always allow it to return to room temperature before use.
  • Gently warm the vinegar on the stove before adding the sugar and salt to help them dissolve faster, but be careful not to bring it to a boil.
  • Use this dressing as a zesty base for a quick-pickled cucumber and onion salad or as a marinade for firm tofu.

Method
 

  1. In a small, non-metallic bowl, combine the rice vinegar, unrefined sugar, and sea salt.
  2. Whisk vigorously for approximately 2 minutes, or until the sugar and salt are almost completely dissolved.
  3. Set aside to use immediately with freshly cooked rice.
