# How-To Steps:
01 - If using sushi rice, combine cooked rice with rice vinegar and allow to cool to room temperature.
02 - Place a sheet of nori shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat or clean kitchen towel.
03 - Apply a thin layer of rice over the lower third of the nori, maintaining a 0.75 inch border at the top.
04 - Arrange cucumber, avocado, sprouts, carrot, and bell pepper in a line across the rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
05 - Using the mat, tightly roll the nori over the fillings, pressing gently to seal the top edge with water if needed.
06 - Repeat the rolling process with remaining nori sheets and ingredients to create 8 rolls total.
07 - Cut each roll into bite-sized pieces using a sharp, damp knife and serve immediately with dipping sauces.
