Sushi Preparation

Prepare Sushi Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions, usually using a rice cooker or on the stovetop. Once cooked, let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Once the rice has rested, gently fold this seasoning into the rice while it’s still warm. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Make Sushi Rolls
Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge. Place the slices of salmon, tuna, cucumber, and avocado along the bottom edge of the rice. Carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water.

Slice the Sushi
Using a sharp knife, slice the sushi roll into 6-8 pieces. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make 10 pieces of sushi.
