I have unseasoned rice vinegar but a recipe that calls for seasoned. I assume I should add sugar and salt to substitute for seasoned vinegar, but in what proportions would mimic a typical seasoned rice vinegar?

For each cup of vinegar, add 3 tablespoons of sugar and one tablespoon of salt. You may also add a piece of kelp or a pinch of kelp powder. And of course, all of these proportions can be adjusted to taste.

I make it at home. You can also Google "sushi su recipes" and find several with very similar ratios. Some will substitute mirin for the sugar though.– SourDohAug 28, 2013 at 16:23
From my favorite Japanese cooking site, JustHungry:
Mix 1/4 cup of rice vinegar or mild cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1/2 tablespoon of mirin, sake or sweet brandy, and 1/2 tablespoon of salt. Heat over low heat in a small saucepan, and stir until the sugar and salt have dissolved. This is enough to flavor 4 cups of rice, so adjust the amount according to the amount of rice you have.

I just tried this, but I used less salt. It's so good I could drink it. I won't, but I could.– user37490Aug 11, 2015 at 18:41
