Rinse the sushi rice under water.

In a pot or rice cooker, combine 2 3/4 cups of water, 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt.

Bring the mixture to a simmer before adding the rice.

Cook the rice until tender and all liquid is absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes.

In a bowl, prepare the sauce by mixing more rice vinegar, soy sauce, scallions, grated ginger, and grated garlic.

Stir the sauce mixture before adding regular oil and sesame oil.

Cut 1 1/2 pounds of skinless salmon filet into one-inch cubes and season with fish sauce instead of salt.

Let the seasoned salmon sit while the rice cooks for about 15 minutes.

Once the rice is done, sprinkle the salmon cubes on top of the rice.

Over very low heat or on the keep warm function of the rice cooker, let the salmon steam for about 8 to 12 minutes until cooked to your liking.

Plate the salmon rice bowl, adding a little bit of sauce and garnishing as desired.
