Sushi rice: rinse, then near 1:1 water
Sushi rice is a short-grain Japanese rice whose stickiness is what holds rolls and nigiri together. A cup of dry rice weighs about 200 g. Rinse it until the water runs clear, then cook with roughly equal water (about 1:1 to 1:1.1) — less than long-grain rice needs.
Once cooked, fold in seasoned rice vinegar while it's warm for that signature glossy, tangy finish.
