Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Then let it rest for 10 minutes. Heat the vinegar, sugar, and salt and mix with the rice. Let it cool. Finely dice the salmon and spring onions and mix with the edamame. Season with soy sauce and siracha sauce to taste. Prepare a 15 cm strip of plastic wrap. Using a moist tablespoon, place some rice (the size of a spoon) on the wrap and flatten it. Add some salmon mixture and more rice.
