Steps

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain. In a rice cooker or saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions or bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until water is absorbed. Once cooked, let the rice cool slightly, then mix in a splash of rice vinegar and a pinch of salt. On a bamboo sushi mat, place the nori sheet shiny side down. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge. In the center of the rice, lay slices of avocado, cucumber, and your choice of fish. Drizzle a small amount of mayonnaise on top of the fish. Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Moisten the edge of the nori with water to seal the roll. Slice the roll into bite-size pieces using a sharp knife. Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
