Japanese Sticky Vinegar Rice

[dswann]

I'm a very inexperienced, student cook and was thinking of getting a rice cooker in the new year. Me and my girlfriend love Japanese food and our favourite restaurant serves "boiled rice" - it's sticky, tastes quite vinegary and comes with a sprinkling of sesame seeds (I think) on top.

I would really love to learn how to make this in a rice cooker and was hoping someone could help!

Thank you very much

Thanks a lot guys! Does anyone have experience doing this? Sounds like substituting water for dashi stock in the rice cooker would make all the difference.

I've made Sushi Rice for Onagiri and Temaki. Fairly time consuming, but so worth it.
