1
Toast the Nori
Gently heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the nori sheets one at a time in the skillet and toast for about 10-15 seconds on each side until slightly crispy and fragrant. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2
Prepare the Sesame Oil
In a small bowl, combine the sesame oil and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside for drizzling later.

3
Prepare the Vegetables
Peel the avocado and slice it thinly. Cut the cucumber and carrot into thin strips or julienne them for easy rolling.
4
Assemble the Filling
In a bowl, combine the cooked rice, soy sauce, pickled ginger, and sesame seeds. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
5
Roll the Nori
Lay one toasted nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat or clean surface. Place a portion of the rice mixture along the bottom edge of the nori, leaving some space at the edges. Layer the avocado, cucumber, and carrot strips on top of the rice. Carefully roll the nori away from you, tucking it tightly around the filling. Use a bit of water on the edge of the nori to seal the roll.
6
Slice and Serve
Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Arrange the pieces on a plate and drizzle with sesame oil. Serve with extra soy sauce and pickled ginger on the side.
