Remove from the heat, cover the saucepan and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Heat in a saucepan the vinegar with the sugar and the salt until melted. Place the rice in a wide tray. Add the vinegar (pic. 1). Cool the rice with a hand fan and move gently the rice to spread the dressing until the rice reaches room temperature. Put 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar and 1 dl of water in a bowl. Moisten your hands and grab a small portion of rice. Press with your fingers over the palm of your hand until a compact and rounded form is achieved and the rice doesn’t come apart (pic. 2).
