Preparation Method Steps:
- Cook the sushi rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice in a rice cooker or saucepan according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Season the sushi rice: Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Add the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt and mix well. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
- Prepare the yellowtail sushi-grade fish: Cut the yellowtail into thin slices, about 1/4-inch thick.
- Prepare the avocado and cucumber: Peel and pit the avocado. Slice the avocado and cucumber into thin, long slices.
- Assemble the sushi rolls: Place a sheet of nori (seaweed wrapper) on a bamboo rolling mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 2 inches at the top of the sheet free.
- Arrange the fillings: Arrange the yellowtail, avocado, and cucumber slices in a row across the center of the rice. Spread a thin line of spicy mayonnaise on top of the fillings.
- Roll the sushi: Roll the sushi tightly, starting from the bottom and working your way up. Use the free space at the top of the nori to seal the roll.
- Slice and serve: Wet a sharp knife and slice the sushi roll into 8 equal pieces. Serve with soy sauce and wasabi for dipping.
