- 1/2 lb sushi-grade salmon, cubed

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Rinse the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Drain the rice and place it in a rice cooker or pot with 1 1/4 cups water. Cook the rice according to the manufacturer's instructions or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

2. In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat the mixture over low heat until the sugar and salt dissolve. Remove from heat and let cool.

3. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and add the vinegar mixture. Stir gently to combine and let cool.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sriracha, sesame oil, and honey to make the spicy sauce.

5. To assemble the sushi bowl, divide the rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with salmon, tuna, avocado, edamame, and pickled ginger.

6. Drizzle the spicy sauce over the top of each bowl and sprinkle with scallions and sesame seeds.
