- 1.5 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 200 grams assorted sashimi-grade fish (such as tuna, salmon, and yellowtail)
- 100 grams shrimp, boiled and peeled

- 0.5 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 2 tablespoons pickled ginger

Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water in a sieve until the water runs clear.
Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the vinegar mixture. In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over low until the sugar and salt dissolve. Let it cool.
When the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture using a wet wooden spatula. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
Prepare the toppings by slicing the sashimi-grade fish and tamagoyaki into bite-sized pieces.
Assemble the chirashi sushi by spreading the rice evenly across individual serving bowls.
Arrange the sashimi, shrimp, tamagoyaki, cucumber, and avocado artfully over the rice.
Garnish with nori strips and pickled ginger.
Serve with soy sauce and wasabi on the side for dipping.
