Brown rice is a lot less sticky than your traditional white sushi rice...but this trick should create a usable product:
Put your hot rice in a plastic, ceramic, or wooden bowl (no metal please) and pour rice vinegar/sugar mixture over the top and toss gently (avoid smushing any of the rice), just to combine the rice and liquid. Then turn the rice out onto a plastic lined cookie sheet while it's still hot and using a rice paddle, fold rice on top of itself (kind of lifting it in sections) while fanning. That is a big task I know...the easiest way to do it if you're by yourself is to angle a fan on your rice and mix with the paddle. As the water evaporates you'll see the rice start to take on a sheen as it cools (due to the sugar in the liquid mixture)...
Sushi Rice Liquid Mix:
Per 2 - 2.5 cups of cooked brown rice
∆ 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
∆ 2 tsp sugar (I know Florida Crystals and Jack Frost are both vegan)
∆ 1.5 teaspoons salt
I suppose you could use Stevia (Pretty sure you would no longer get the glossy finish to the rice) or turbinado sugar too. I just haven't tried that...maybe next time!!
