Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar, salt, and sugar in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves.Then spread the rice out on a large flat surface (a lasagna pan will do just fine). Sprinkle with vinegar mixture, cutting into the rice with a spatula or paddle at a 45 degree angle, tossing as you go.
