Method
Preparing Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place sushi rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
- 2
Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed sushi rice and 2.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture using a wooden spoon. Let it cool to room temperature.
Preparing Sushi and Sashimi

Slice the Fish
Using a sharp knife, slice the fresh tuna and salmon into thin sashimi pieces. Aim for about 1/4 inch thickness for the best texture.

Assemble the Sushi Rolls
Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Arrange slices of tuna, salmon, avocado, and cucumber in a line across the rice. Roll the mat away from you, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water.

Cut the Rolls
Using a sharp knife, slice the sushi roll into 6-8 bite-sized pieces. Wet the knife in between cuts to prevent sticking.

Serve with Garnishes
Plate the sushi rolls alongside sashimi slices. Serve with soy sauce, a dollop of wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
