Preparation Method Steps:
- Rinse the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions.
- While the rice is cooking, prepare the sushi vinegar by combining the sushi vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl.
- Once the rice is cooked, spread it out in a large bowl and drizzle with the sushi vinegar. Mix gently with a wooden spoon or spatula to combine.
- Place a bamboo rolling mat on a work surface. Cover the mat with plastic wrap to prevent the rice from sticking.
- Place a sheet of nori on the rolling mat, shiny side down. Spread a thin layer of rice over the nori, leaving a 2-inch border at the top.
- Arrange the salmon, tuna, cucumber, avocado, tobiko, and spicy mayo in a horizontal row on the bottom third of the rice.
- Roll the sushi roll tightly, starting from the bottom and working your way up. Be sure to tuck in the sides of the nori as you roll.
- Wet the top border of the nori with water to help seal the roll.
- Cut the sushi roll into 8 equal pieces with a sharp knife.
