# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 295 ml water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
02 - In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until sugar dissolves. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice with a spatula. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
03 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
04 - Combine sriracha sauce, mayonnaise, and soy sauce in a large bowl. Add cooked shrimp and toss to coat evenly.
05 - Place a nori square on a plate. Add a layer of sushi rice and gently press to shape into a disk. Top with diced avocado, sliced cucumber, and spicy shrimp pieces. Repeat layering to desired height. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
06 - Present with soy sauce and extra sriracha on the side for dipping.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For best texture, let sushi rice rest covered after cooking to absorb steam evenly.
