Ingredients

• 2 cups Sushi rice
• 2.5 cups Water
• 1/4 cup Rice vinegar
• 3 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 ounces Sashimi-grade salmon
• 4 ounces Sashimi-grade tuna
• 1 small Cucumber
• 1 Carrot
• 1 Avocado
• 2 Nori (seaweed) sheets
• 3 tablespoons Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and 2.5 cups of water in a rice cooker. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions.

Step 2

While the rice is cooking, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Step 3

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Gently fold in the vinegar mixture with a wooden spatula while fanning the rice to cool it down and give it a glossy finish.

Step 4

Slice the sashimi-grade salmon and tuna into thin strips. Ensure your knife is sharp to achieve clean cuts.

Step 5

Peel and thinly slice the cucumber. Peel and julienne the carrot. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it thinly.

Step 6

Toast the nori sheets over an open flame for a few seconds on each side for added flavor, being careful not to burn them. Cut the nori sheets into thin strips.

Step 7

For assembly, place a portion of the seasoned sushi rice on a serving plate. Arrange the sliced sashimi, cucumber, carrot, avocado, and nori strips over the rice.

Step 8

Drizzle with gluten-free tamari and sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish. Add pickled ginger on the side for extra flavor.

Step 9

Serve the Chirashi Sushi immediately and enjoy this colorful and gluten-free sushi delight.
