02 - In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice using a rice paddle. Allow rice to cool to room temperature.
03 - In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha, and fresh lime juice until well combined.
04 - Julienne cucumber and carrot, slice avocado and scallion, cut nori into thin strips, and cook edamame if using.
05 - Divide seasoned sushi rice between two serving bowls. Arrange cucumber, carrot, avocado, scallion, nori strips, pickled ginger, edamame, and fish (if using) in organized sections over the rice.
06 - Drizzle spicy mayo over the bowl and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with soy sauce or tamari on the side.
