Instructions

Rinse sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions (usually a 1:1 water ratio) until tender. Let it sit covered for about 10 minutes before fluffing.
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour over warm rice and gently fold it in to avoid mushiness; set aside to cool slightly.
Slice avocado and cucumber; chop green onions.
Flake drained tuna in a mixing bowl; optionally mix with soy sauce or mayonnaise for extra flavor.
Assemble bowls by placing seasoned sushi rice at the base and topping with flaked tuna, avocado slices, cucumber sticks, and green onions.
Garnish with sesame seeds and serve with nori strips on the side. Drizzle additional soy sauce if desired.
