Method
Preparing the Rice
- 1
Rinse and Cook the Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and 1.25 cups of water in a rice cooker. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions. Alternatively, you can cook it in a pot on the stove by bringing the water to a boil, then covering and simmering on low heat for about 18 minutes.

Season the Rice
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt over low heat until dissolved. Pour the mixture over the rice and gently fold to combine. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Prepare the Ahi Tuna
While the rice is cooling, cut the Ahi tuna into bite-sized cubes. In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, and sliced green onions. Add the cubed tuna to the bowl and gently mix to coat the tuna evenly with the marinade.

Add Garnishes
Prepare the garnishes by cutting the nori sheets into strips, and slicing the cucumber and radishes thinly. Set aside.

Assemble the Bowl
