Steps

1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak it in water for 30 minutes.
2. Drain the rice and combine it with 200ml of fresh water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for 15 minutes until tender.
3. While the rice is cooking, prepare the sushi seasoning by mixing the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved.
4. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the sushi seasoning. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
5. Prepare the vegetables and seafood by julienning the cucumber and carrot, slicing the radish, and chopping the cooked shrimp.
6. To assemble the chirashi, divide the seasoned rice between two bowls. Top each bowl with the julienned cucumber, carrot, sliced radish, avocado, and chopped shrimp.
