Ingredients

• 1 cup sushi rice
• 1.25 cups water
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 3 whole nori sheets
• 1 large avocado
• 0.5 whole cucumber
• 1 small carrot
• 0.25 cup light soy sauce
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon sriracha
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the sushi rice. Rinse 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice with 1.25 cups of water in a saucepan, and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit for 10 minutes with the lid on.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, peel, and cut it into thin slices. Set aside.

Step 4

Peel the cucumber and carrot, then cut them into long, thin strips. Use approximately half a cucumber and half a small carrot for the rolls.

Step 5

When the rice is done resting, transfer it to a large non-metallic bowl. Gently fold in 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Allow to cool at room temperature.

Step 6

For the spicy mayo sauce, mix 0.25 cup of mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of sriracha in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.

Step 7

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and cover it with plastic wrap. Place a nori sheet, shiny side down, on the mat.

Step 8

Wet your fingers to prevent sticking, then spread a thin, even layer of the cooked sushi rice over the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 9

Lay a few slices of avocado, cucumber strips, and carrot strips across the rice at the bottom edge of the nori sheet closest to you.

Step 10

Begin to roll the sushi by lifting the edge of the bamboo mat closest to you with your thumbs, while keeping the fillings in place with your fingers. Roll the sushi into a tight cylinder, applying gentle pressure. Wet the top border with a little water to seal the roll.

Step 11

Use a sharp, wet knife to slice the roll into six equal pieces. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.

Step 12

Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the sliced sushi rolls for added flavor and garnish.

Step 13

Serve the sugar-free avocado sushi rolls with the spicy mayo sauce and light soy sauce on the side for dipping.
