• Add the rice, reduce heat to low to simmer rice, and cook for 30-40 minutes, or until tender.
• Drain and rinse rice, allow to cool for 10 minutes.
• Place one nori sheet on a bamboo rack or board, spread a thin layer of rice to cover, on the end of one side place some carrot, avocado, cucumber, tofu and mayonnaise.
• Firmly start to roll the end of the nori sheet on the side with the ingredients, ensuring everything is packed in tightly, to seal the end of the nori sheet, add a little water. Cut sushi in half with a sharp knife.
