Ingredients

• Sushi rice - 150 grams
• Water - 200 ml
• Rice vinegar - 30 ml
• Sugar - 10 grams
• Salt - 5 grams
• Fresh sashimi-grade tuna - 100 grams
• Fresh sashimi-grade salmon - 100 grams
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
• Nori sheets - 2 sheets
• Cucumber - 1 small, julienned
• Soy sauce - 30 ml
• Wasabi - to taste
• Pickled ginger - for serving
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak in water for 30 minutes.
2. Drain the rice and combine it with 200 ml of water in a rice cooker. Cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.
3. In a small saucepan, heat rice vinegar, sugar, and salt over low heat until dissolved. Set aside.
4. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
5. Prepare the sashimi by slicing the tuna and salmon into thin pieces.
6. Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 2 cm border at the top.
7. Place slices of tuna, salmon, avocado, and cucumber in the center of the rice. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
8. Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly away from you, pressing gently to form a log. Seal the edge with a little water.
9. Repeat the process with the second sheet of nori and remaining ingredients.
10. Slice each sushi roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp knife dipped in water to prevent sticking.
11. Serve the sushi with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
