Place the rice in a deep bowl with cold water and watch as the water takes on a slight white color. Drain the rice and repeat until the water remains clear. In a pot over medium heat, combine the rice with 2 cups of water. Cover and let the water come to a boil, then reduce to low heat and cook for 20 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed. Remove the lid and let the rice sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Pour the rice into a deep bowl. In another bowl, mix the vinegar with the sugar and salt, then add it to the rice. Stir with a fork without smashing the rice. Allow the rice to cool before using for sushi, or serve it as is in a deep plate accompanied by soy sauce and fish sashimi.
