2. Dump rice into rice cooker, add water. Turn on rice cooker.
3. Mix seasoning ingredients. Stirring until sugar is dissolved.
4. After rice cooker indicates it is finished cooking, wait a couple minutes - this allows any extra water to evaporate.
5. Check rice. If there is a water puddle, close rice cooker and wait several more minutes for water to evaporate.
6. Remove rice from cooker, and into a large bowl.
7. Pour seasoning over rice, and then fan the rice while slicing it with a wooden spoon or spatula, rotating the bowl, until it is cooled somewhat and is shiny and sticky.
