Spicy California Sushi Roll
Did you know that a roll of sushi can range from 500-700 calories! This recipe cuts the calories down to less than 300 per roll and has the added fiber benefit from the whole grain rice and avocado. Who would have thought sushi was so easy to make at home!
Rice Mix
1 cup of multigrain brown rice medley
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 Tablespoon light mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Sriracha hot sauce

2 medium sized avocado, peeled, seeded and mashed
6 imitation crab sticks
1 cup diced cucumber

2 teaspoons sesame seeds
