Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 ounces sashimi-grade tuna, sliced
  • 6 ounces sashimi-grade salmon, sliced
  • 4 ounces cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup pickled ginger
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 sheets nori, cut into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon wasabi
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
  2. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker or saucepan. Cook according to rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 18 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat gently, stirring, until sugar and salt dissolve. Do not boil.
  4. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl. Gently fold in the vinegar mixture with a spatula or wooden paddle. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
  5. Prepare the toppings: slice the sashimi-grade fish, shrimp, cucumber, avocado, and scallions.
  6. Divide the sushi rice among 4 bowls.
  7. Arrange the fish, shrimp, cucumber, avocado, carrots, and pickled ginger artfully on top of the rice.
  8. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, nori strips, and scallions.
  9. Serve with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.

Notes

For best results, use the freshest sashimi-grade fish available. Feel free to substitute or add toppings such as tamago (Japanese omelet), shiitake mushrooms, or edamame. For a vegetarian version, use marinated tofu and assorted vegetables instead of fish.
