Ingredients

1 cup sushi rice

1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cucumber, julienned
1 carrot, julienned
1 avocado, sliced
8 oz tuna or salmon, sliced (sushi grade)
1 sheet nori, cut into thin strips

Soy sauce, for drizzling
Spicy mayo (optional): 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Sriracha

Instructions

Cook the Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium pot, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
Season the Rice: In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold the mixture into the cooked rice. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
Prepare the Vegetables and Protein: Julienne the cucumber and carrot. Slice the avocado and sushi-grade tuna or salmon.
Assemble the Bowl: In a wide, shallow bowl, place a generous scoop of sushi rice. Arrange the cucumber, carrot, avocado, and slices of tuna or salmon on top.
Garnish and Dress: Garnish with nori strips and sesame seeds. Drizzle with soy sauce and, if desired, spicy mayo. Add pickled ginger and wasabi on the side.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately with chopsticks and enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors.
