Add remaining 2 cups water and the sushi rice. Re-cover and simmer a further 25 minutes.

Turn off the heat and allow to stand, covered, for 10 minutes on the burner.

Stir with a fork to fluff and transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.

Add onion and cook, stirring, until translucent.

Pour mixture into the bowl with the rice and add cilantro and tamari, mixing well.
