Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup sweet corn kernels (cooked or grilled)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
  • Vegetable oil for grilling
  • For the Chili Mayo:
  • 1/3 cup vegan mayo
  • 1 tbsp sriracha or other chili sauce
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • Pinch of garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine with water in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Gently fold into the cooked rice and let cool to room temperature.
  3. Mix chili mayo ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
  4. Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. With wet hands, spread a thin layer of rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
  5. Arrange avocado slices, corn, green onions, and a drizzle of chili mayo in a line across the bottom third of the rice.
  6. Roll the sushi tightly using the mat. Seal the edge with a little water. Repeat for remaining sheets.
  7. Lightly brush each roll with oil. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and sear the rolls for about 1-2 minutes per side until lightly charred.
  8. Slice the rolls into bite-sized pieces and drizzle with more chili mayo. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
  9. Serve immediately with soy sauce or extra chili mayo on the side.

Notes

  • Use plastic wrap between the rice and mat to prevent sticking.
  • Grilling adds a smoky flavor and crisp texture—optional but recommended.
  • You can add extra fillings like cucumber, tofu, or bell peppers.
