Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain well.
Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Alternatively, combine in a pot and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 18 minutes. Let it sit for 10 minutes before fluffing.
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
Transfer cooked rice to a large bowl, then gradually add the vinegar mixture and fold it into the rice with a spatula. Let cool to room temperature.
Slice the sashimi-grade salmon and tuna into thin slices, roughly about 1/4 inch thick.
Peel the cucumber, cut it into thin matchsticks or slices.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it into thin slices.
Slice the scallions thinly, using both the green and white parts.
Cut or tear the nori sheet into small strips.
Assemble the chirashi bowl by serving a quarter of the seasoned sushi rice in each bowl.
Top each bowl with an equal portion of salmon, tuna, cucumber, avocado, pickled ginger, and scallions.
Drizzle with gluten-free soy sauce, and wasabi paste as desired.
Garnish with sesame seeds and nori strips.
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh flavors!
