you're probably over mixing it actually

short grain rice does best w/ a ratio just a little under 1:1
w/ water being less

and when you mix the vinegar... you wanna do a horizontal slicing motion w/ a bit of folding
and you want to actually touch the rice as LITTLE as possible >.>'
the more you touch it, the stickier it becomes

and you want only enough vinegar to coat the rice >.>

it also helps to add the vinegar when the rice is "super" hot
so that excess vinegar evaporates

hope that helps xD
