Ingredients
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 ripe mango, sliced
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha (adjust to taste)
- Soy sauce for serving
- Pickled ginger for serving (optional)
- Wasabi for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once cooked, let it sit for 10 minutes.
- Season the Rice: In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the warm rice until evenly coated. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
- Prepare the Spicy Mayo: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Sriracha. Adjust the amount of Sriracha to your preferred spice level.
- Assemble the Sushi Rolls: Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge. Arrange the avocado and mango slices in a line across the center of the rice.
- Roll the Sushi: Starting from the bottom, lift the bamboo mat and roll it away from you, pressing gently but firmly to shape the roll. Keep rolling until the top edge of the nori is reached. Use a little water to seal the edge.
- Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Drizzle with spicy mayo and serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
