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
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.
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Gently fold into the cooked rice and let cool to room temperature.
Mix chili mayo ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
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.
Arrange avocado slices, corn, green onions, and a drizzle of chili mayo in a line across the bottom third of the rice.
Roll the sushi tightly using the mat. Seal the edge with a little water. Repeat for remaining sheets.
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.
Slice the rolls into bite-sized pieces and drizzle with more chili mayo. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
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.
