Instructions
Rice: Cook rice by instructions on package*.
Scoop: Cut each cucumber in half and remove seeds with either a small spoon or knife to create a long, hollow tube.
Stuff: Spoon in a small amount of rice, then compress towards one side of the tube using a small knife. Insert a slice of avocado and a few slices of pepper, then add more rice to fill gaps, compressing and adding more rice until packed full.
Slice: With a sharp knife, slice cucumber into ½ inch thick pieces. If you start to notice the filling is loose as you cut, stuff in more rice and peppers where needed.

Notes
*To cook sushi rice on the stove, rinse rice with cold water in a fine mesh strainer. Combine 1 cup sushi rice with 1 cup water in a pot, cover, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed. Remove pot from heat and let sit, still covered, for 10 minutes. In a separate bowl, dissolve 1 tsp of sugar and 1 tsp of salt into 2 Tbsps rice vinegar. Fold this into the cooked rice.You make also like these tofu sushi rolls, stuffed with crispy tofu and served with almond butter dipping sauce!
