- 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.

- 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.
