Apple cider vinegar provides a milder flavor, while white vinegar is usually more affordable.

Rinse the short grain rice five times under cold water, running it through a colander each time, then let it dry for about 15 minutes.

Add the rinsed rice to a medium saucepan on high heat and add 2 cups of cold water.

Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat to medium and cover the saucepan.

After a few minutes, when it boils, turn the heat down to low and cook for an additional 10 minutes with the lid on.

Remove the rice from heat and let it stand untouched for about 15 minutes.

In a separate bowl, combine the rice vinegar, white wine vinegar, sugar, and salt, stirring slowly to dissolve the sugar.

Transfer the rice to a large bowl and slowly mix in the vinegar mixture using a spatula, fanning the rice as you mix to fluff it up.
