1
Prepare Sushi Rice
Rinse 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions, usually in 1 1/4 cups of water. Once cooked, let it cool slightly.
2
Season Rice
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked sushi rice and let it cool to room temperature.
3
Prepare Vegetables
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Cut into thin strips. For the cucumber, peel if desired, then slice into thin matchsticks.

4
Assemble the Roll
Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and place a nori sheet shiny side down on the mat. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and grab a handful of sushi rice. Spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge.
5
Add Fillings
Place strips of avocado and cucumber in the center of the rice-covered nori.
6
Roll It Up
Using the bamboo mat, carefully lift the edge of the mat closest to you and start rolling away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Once rolled, use a sharp knife dipped in water to slice the roll into bite-sized pieces.

7
Sprinkle Sesame Seeds
After cutting the roll into pieces, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds on top for garnish.
8
Serve
Serve the Avo Kyu Roll with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
