Ingredients

2 cups Short-grain Japanese Rice
2 cups Water
¼ cup Unseasoned Rice Vinegar
2 tbsp White Wine Vinegar
2 tbsp Sugar
1 tbsp Kosher Salt

Instructions

Place the rice in a mesh sieve and place under cold running water until the water runs clear (approx. 2-3 minutes).
Add the water and rinsed rice to the inner pot of the instant pot. Place the lid on top and ensure the valve is in the "sealed" position. Cook on low pressure for 10 minutes, followed by a 10 minute natural release. Quick-release any remaining pressure and remove the lid.
Add the vinegars, salt and sugar to a small bowl and stir to combine. Microwave in 15 second increments, if needed, to dissolve the sugar and salt.
Transfer the rice to a large glass or wooden bowl and use a fork to fluff. Immediately pour the vinegar mixture over the rice and use a wooden spoon to fold in the seasoning.
Optional Step: Spread out the rice on a baking sheet and cover with a moist paper towel for 1-2 hours before using.
