Directions
1. Wash the Japanese rice 2-3 times with water or until the water runs clear.

3. While the rice is cooking, pour rice vinegar, sugar and salt into a large wooden or ceramic bowl. Mix well.
4. Once rice is cooked, add into the vinegar mixture and mix well. The hot rice will easily absorb the mixture.
5. Cover the rice with a damp towel. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Cover with a towel or cling wrap then refrigerate.
6. Rice vinegar: you can start with 1/8 cup or 2 tbsp or rice vinegar and adjust depending on your preference.
7. To color the rice, simply divided the sushi rice into 4 and diluted 1 tsp each of the powders (butterfly pea, sweet potato, red beet, and pandan) in 2 tbsp water each before mixing it into each bowl of sushi rice. Then mixed in some furikake and mixed it before shaping the balls and wrapping the strips of nori!
