Step 1
Rinse sushi rice under cold water until water runs clear, then drain well.
Step 2
In a rice cooker, combine rice and 2.5 cups water. Cook according to machine instructions.
Step 3
While rice cooks, whisk together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.
Step 4
Transfer cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in vinegar mixture until rice is evenly coated. Cool to room temperature.
Step 5
Slice salmon and tuna into thin 0.25-inch thick pieces.
Step 6
Peel, pit, and slice avocado lengthwise into thin strips.
Step 7
Slice cucumber lengthwise into thin strips, removing seeds if very large.
Step 8
Form nigiri by cupping 2 tablespoons cooled sushi rice in your hand and shaping into an oval, then topping with salmon, tuna, or shrimp.
Step 9
For rolls, place nori shiny side down on a bamboo mat, spread thin layer of rice, add filling strips (cucumber, avocado, cream cheese, or cooked shrimp), and roll tightly using the mat.
Step 10
Slice each roll into 6-8 pieces using a wet, sharp knife.
Step 11
Arrange nigiri and roll slices on a platter with pickled ginger and wasabi on the side. Serve soy sauce in small dishes for dipping.
