- 2 cups Sushi rice
- 2.5 cups Water
- 0.25 cups Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 4 oz Fresh tuna
- 4 oz Fresh salmon
- 4 oz Cooked shrimp
- 1 whole Avocado
- 1 whole Cucumber
- 4 tablespoons Japanese mayonnaise

Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Combine the rinsed rice with 2.5 cups of water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook according to instructions until rice is tender.
In a small saucepan, heat the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt over low heat until the sugar dissolves.
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gradually fold in the vinegar mixture with a spatula. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
Thinly slice the tuna, salmon, and cooked shrimp into pieces suitable for topping the sushi.
Peel the avocado, remove the pit, and slice it thinly. Also, peel and slice the cucumber into long strips.
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and cover it with plastic wrap.
Lay a sheet of nori on the mat, shiny side down.
With wet hands, spread a thin layer of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of nori uncovered at the top.
Turn the nori sheet over so that the rice is facing down on the plastic wrapped mat.
Arrange a strip of cucumber and a line of Japanese mayonnaise along the bottom edge of the nori.
Roll the sushi tightly using the mat, pressing slightly to form a neat cylindrical shape.
Unroll the mat and place slices of tuna, salmon, shrimp, and avocado across the top of the roll, alternating to create a rainbow effect.
Place a piece of plastic wrap over the roll and gently press down with the bamboo mat to adhere the toppings.
Remove the plastic wrap and use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 8 pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts.
Serve the rainbow sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
