Once it boils, reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot tightly and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time. After 15 minutes, remove the pot from heat. Keep it covered for another 10 minutes. This steaming makes the rice tender. Now, let's season the rice. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of sea salt. Whisk until fully dissolved. Once the rice is ready, transfer it to a large bowl. While it's still warm, gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Be careful not to mush the grains. This adds a tasty layer of flavor. Let the rice cool to room temperature. Take two serving bowls. Place a scoop of seasoned sushi rice at the base of each bowl. This rice forms the bed for your toppings. Now, arrange your toppings. Decoratively place the sliced avocado, julienned cucumber, cooked edamame, and thinly sliced radishes on top. Add the seasoned diced salmon next. Finish with garnishes. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the bowls. These add crunch and color. Lastly, drizzle soy sauce and spicy mayo on top. If you like, add nori strips around the edges.

For an extra touch, garnish with a slice of lime or lemon. It adds a pop of color and a fresh feel. Serve with chopsticks resting on top. This makes your bowl look elegant and inviting. You can customize your sushi bowl with various sauces. Soy sauce adds a classic touch. For something spicy, try the spicy mayo. Mix two tablespoons of mayonnaise with one teaspoon of sriracha. This gives a nice kick. Feel free to add more toppings. Consider pickled ginger for a zing. You can also use sliced jalapeños for heat. If you prefer crunch, add crispy tempura bits.

For avocado, wrap it tight to slow browning. Store cucumbers in a cool place. Keep edamame in the fridge until ready to use. Place radishes in water for crispness. Always check for freshness before using. No, you should not use regular rice. Sushi rice is short-grain rice that becomes sticky when cooked. This stickiness helps the rice hold together in a bowl. Regular rice does not have this quality, so it will not work well for sushi bowls. To ensure your salmon is sushi-grade, buy it from a trusted fishmonger. Look for fresh fish with a bright color and no off-smell. The fish should also have a firm texture. Ask the seller if it is safe to eat raw. They should provide clear information about its freshness. You can get creative with your toppings!

Instructions
 

Rinse the sushi rice: Place the rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water, swishing with your hands until the water runs clear. This will help remove excess starch for the perfect texture. Drain well.

    Cook the rice: In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed sushi rice and 1 1/4 cups of water. Bring it to a vigorous boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and let it simmer for 15 minutes without lifting the lid to ensure proper steaming.

      Steam the rice: After 15 minutes, remove the pot from the heat but keep it covered. Let the rice sit for an additional 10 minutes to continue steaming and become tender.

        Season the rice: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, sugar, and sea salt until fully dissolved. Once the rice is ready, carefully transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture while the rice is still warm, making sure not to mush the grains. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

          Prepare the salmon: While the rice cools, dice the sushi-grade salmon into uniform 1/2-inch cubes. If desired, lightly drizzle with soy sauce for extra flavor and set aside.

            Assemble the bowls: Take two serving bowls and place a generous scoop of the seasoned sushi rice at the base of each bowl, forming a bed for the toppings.

              Artistic arrangement: Arrange the sliced avocado, julienned cucumber, shelled edamame, thinly sliced radishes, and the seasoned diced salmon decoratively on top of the rice.

                Garnish: Scatter toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the bowl to add a fresh crunch and a pop of color.

                  Add condiments: Drizzle your beautifully assembled bowls with soy sauce and spicy mayo for a flavorful kick.

                    Optional finish: If using, add nori strips around the edges or atop the bowls for an additional layer of flavor and texture.
