# How To Make It:

01 - Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a saucepan; bring to a boil, then cover and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes.
02 - In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this seasoning into the cooked rice and allow to cool to room temperature.
03 - In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Sriracha, and lime juice. Adjust chili to taste.
04 - Lay one half-sheet of nori shiny side down on a flat surface. With wet hands, spread a thin layer of sushi rice diagonally over half the nori, leaving the top third bare.
05 - Place a small amount of seaweed salad, cucumber, and avocado (if using) diagonally over the rice. Drizzle with spicy mayo and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
06 - Fold the nori over the fillings to form a cone shape. Seal the edge with a little water if needed.
07 - Repeat the filling and rolling process with remaining ingredients.
08 - Serve immediately with soy sauce and pickled ginger.
