Description
A fusion twist on traditional sushi, these grilled spicy rolls are packed with creamy avocado, sweet corn, and a kick of heat from chili mayo. Perfectly charred for added flavor and texture.
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.
