Directions
Step 1
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions or using a rice cooker.
Step 2
While the rice is cooking, prepare the sushi vinegar. In a small saucepan, heat the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt over low heat, stirring until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 3
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the prepared sushi vinegar using a wooden spoon or spatula. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature, covering it with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out.
Step 4
Slice the sashimi-grade salmon and tuna into thin slices, approximately 2 inches wide. Cut the cucumber into thin rounds and the avocado into small wedges.
Step 5
Using kitchen scissors or a knife, cut the nori sheet into thin strips for garnish.
Step 6
In individual serving bowls, evenly divide the prepared sushi rice. Arrange the sashimi slices, cooked shrimp, and imitation crab sticks on top of the rice in an attractive pattern.
Step 7
Add cucumber slices and avocado wedges to the bowls, filling in any gaps around the seafood.
Step 8
Sprinkle masago (capelin roe) over the top for a burst of color and flavor.
Step 9
Garnish each bowl with nori strips and pickled ginger.
Step 10
Serve with soy sauce and wasabi on the side, allowing each person to season their chirashizushi to taste.
