This is a basic sticky sushi rice recipe. But you can use it for Hawaiian poké bowls, onigiri 

おにぎり(balls of rice) and more. Sushi means "sour-tasting".

2 cups (260 g) Japanese short-grain white rice or labeled "sushi rice" 短粒白米 /tan stub hakumai/
2 cups (480 ml) water 水 /mizu/

sea salt 海塩 /kaien/

2. Cook the rice (stovetop, rice cooker, or Instant Pot).
3. Heat the rice vinegar, sugar, and sea salt in a small saucepan over medium-hight heat until it almost reaches a simmer.
4. Remove and whisk until the sugar has dissolved.
5. Transfer the cooked rice to a large mixing bowl and drizzle with the sushi vinegar.
6. Fold the rice by slicing and flirting motion, until the vinegar is mixed into the rice.
