• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 pound Fresh sashimi-grade tuna
• 0.5 pound Fresh sashimi-grade salmon
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 large Avocado
• 2 whole Nori sheets
• 0.5 cup Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Combine the rinsed rice and 2.5 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it rest, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 4

While the rice is cooking, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Heat gently and stir until sugar and salt are dissolved. Let cool.

Step 5

Transfer cooked rice to a large bowl. Using a wooden spoon or rice paddle, gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let the rice cool slightly while you prepare the toppings.

Step 6

Slice the tuna and salmon into thin, bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Step 7

Peel and slice the cucumber and avocado thinly.

Step 8

Cut the nori sheets into thin strips.

Step 9

To assemble the chirashi sushi, divide the seasoned rice among bowls.

Artfully arrange slices of tuna, salmon, cucumber, and avocado on top of the rice.

Step 11

Garnish with nori strips, pickled ginger, and a small dollop of wasabi paste.

Step 12

Sprinkle black sesame seeds over the top before serving.
