Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

Step 2

Combine sushi rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Alternatively, you can cook it in a pot over the stove by bringing the water to a boil, then reducing the heat to low, covering, and simmering for 18-20 minutes.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, heat the rice vinegar, sugar, and mirin over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

Once rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Slice the sashimi-grade salmon and tuna into bite-sized pieces.

Step 6

In a serving bowl, layer the cooled sushi rice at the bottom.

Step 7

Arrange the salmon, tuna, cucumber, avocado, edamame, and radish beautifully on top of the rice.

Step 8

Drizzle with fresh lemon juice.

Step 9

Sprinkle with sesame seeds, nori pieces, and chopped scallions.
