Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well and cook with 2 1/4 cups water in a rice cooker or pot.
In a small saucepan, heat rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Let cool slightly.
Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl. Gently fold in the vinegar mixture while fanning the rice to cool it down.
Beat the eggs with soy sauce and mirin. Cook into a thin omelet, then slice into thin strips.
Slice the cucumber, avocado, and sashimi into thin, bite-sized pieces.
Divide the sushi rice among bowls. Arrange the sashimi, cucumber, avocado, and egg strips on top.
Garnish with shredded nori, sesame seeds, pickled ginger, and wasabi if desired.
Chef's Tips
- Rice Quality: Use short-grain Japanese rice for the best texture and stickiness.
- Fish Selection: Ensure the sashimi is fresh and sushi-grade for safety.
- Vinegar Mix: Adjust the sugar and vinegar to taste if you prefer sweeter or tangier rice.
- Vegetable Variations: Add shredded carrots, radish, or edamame for extra color and crunch.
- Serving Tip: Serve immediately after assembling to enjoy the fresh textures.
