Ingredients
Sushi
- 2 cucumbers
- 1 cup Uncooked sushi rice 210 g
- ½ firm avocado sliced
- ¼ red bell pepper sliced
- ¼ orange bell pepper sliced
- Optional Add-Ins: julienne cut carrots, red cabbage, sprouts, tofu, or scallions
Spicy Mayo
- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise 45 g

Instructions
- Rice: Cook rice by instructions on package*.
- Scoop: Cut each cucumber in half and remove seeds with either a small spoon or knife to create a long, hollow tube.
- Stuff: Spoon in a small amount of rice, then compress towards one side of the tube using a small knife. Insert a slice of avocado and a few slices of pepper, then add more rice to fill gaps, compressing and adding more rice until packed full.
- Slice: With a sharp knife, slice cucumber into ½ inch thick pieces. If you start to notice the filling is loose as you cut, stuff in more rice and peppers where needed.

Notes
- *To cook sushi rice on the stove, rinse rice with cold water in a fine mesh strainer. Combine 1 cup sushi rice with 1 cup water in a pot, cover, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Remove the pot from heat and let it sit, still covered, for 10 minutes. In a separate bowl, dissolve 1 tsp of sugar and 1 tsp of salt into 2 Tbsp of rice vinegar. Fold this into the cooked rice.
