Ingredients

  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 1.25 cups water
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 avocado
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp sriracha

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the 1 cup sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear, then drain. Combine the rice and 1.25 cups water in a small pot and bring to a boil over high heat.

  2. 2

    Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Fold the 2 tbsp rice vinegar into the hot rice. Spread the rice on a plate to cool slightly while you prepare the toppings.

  4. 4

    Slice the 1 avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out. Cut it into thin slices or cubes.

  5. 5

    Stir together the 2 tbsp mayonnaise and 1 tbsp sriracha in a small bowl. Serve the rice in a bowl, top with the avocado, drizzle with the spicy mayo, and sprinkle with sliced green onion if you have it.
