Let the washed rice drip into a colander for 15 minutes.
Pour the rice into a saucepan and cover flush with water, calculating that for every 100 g of rice you will need 120-130 ml of water. Season the rice with the engraved kombu seaweed. Cover with the lid and cook for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it rest with the lid on for another 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the dressing. In a saucepan, mix 15 ml of rice vinegar, 7 g of sugar and 2.5 g of salt for every 100 g of rice. Heat everything avoiding boiling.
Pour the rice into the Hangiri. Quickly cool the rice with a fan. Season the rice with the liquid, gently dividing the grains with the spoon: for a better distribution of the sauce, it is advisable to run the liquid on the back of the spoon and let it rain down.Continue to wave with the fan and cover with a damp cloth.- Line the bamboo mat with cling film.
