Ingredients:

• 2 cups of sushi rice
• 2 cups of water
• 4 tablespoons of rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon of sugar
• 1 tablespoon of salt
• 1 cup of Panko bread crumbs
• 2 cups of diced sushi-grade tuna
• 2 ripe avocados, cubed
• 1 large cucumber, diced
• 4 tablespoons of sesame seeds
• 4 tablespoons of soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons of sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
• 1 package of nori sheets, crushed into pieces
• Wasabi, to taste
• Ginger, to taste

Instructions:

1. Rinse the sushi rice under cool water until the water is clear. Add rinsed rice and two cups of water to a pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for about 20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

2. While the rice is cooking, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the sugar and salt dissolve. Set aside to cool.

3. Place the Panko bread crumbs in a small frying pan over medium heat. Stir and toss until they are golden brown. Set aside to cool.

4. Dice your sushi-grade tuna, cucumber, and ripe avocados. Make sure to remove any skin or seeds.

5. When the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. While the rice is still hot, gradually add the cooled vinegar mixture and gently fold to combine.

6. Let the rice cool completely at room temperature. Do not refrigerate as it will become too hard.

7. In a large mixing bowl, combine your diced tuna, cucumber, avocados, sesame seeds, soy sauce, and sesame oil.

8. Divide the sushi rice among 4 bowls. Top each with an even amount of your tuna salad.

9. Drizzle each bowl with lemon juice and sprinkle the toasted panko bread crumbs and crushed nori sheets over the tops.

10. Garnish with wasabi and ginger to taste.
