The San Francisco-born mash-up of a hand roll and a burrito: a full sheet of nori wrapped around seasoned sushi rice, salmon, avocado and crunchy vegetables, rolled fat and eaten in the hand rather than sliced into bite-sized pieces. Spicy mayo and tenkasu do the work that soy and wasabi do in a sushi bar.
Put 80 g of sushi rice in a sieve and rinse under cold water, rubbing the grains with your fingers, until the water runs clear — about 1 minute. Drain well, tip into a small saucepan with 100 ml of water, cover and bring to the boil over a medium heat. Drop to the lowest heat and cook, lid on and undisturbed, for 12 minutes, then take off the heat and leave covered for 10 minutes to steam.
Stir 1 tbsp of rice vinegar with 1 tsp of caster sugar and 0.25 tsp of salt until dissolved. Tip the hot rice into a wide bowl, pour the vinegar over and fold it through with a wooden spatula in slicing strokes, never stirring, until every grain is glossy. Fan the rice or spread it out and leave until barely warm — hot rice steams the nori limp.
Whisk 1 tbsp of Japanese mayonnaise with 1 tsp of sriracha in a small bowl to make the spicy mayo. Set aside.
With a very sharp knife, cut 70 g of salmon along the grain into finger-thick strips. Peel and slice 0.5 avocado into 5 mm slices. Cut 40 g of cucumber and 30 g of carrot into matchsticks the length of your palm, discarding the watery cucumber seeds. Keep everything on a board in separate piles.
