Directions
1. To assemble, just spread a bit of your cooked grain in the middle of the nori sheet, than layer on your other ingredients, and top with a dollop of the sriracha mayo.
2. Wrap up your sushi burrito, and seal the edges with a bit of water.
Note: If you’re struggling with the nori, keep your sheets whole, and just wrap it up like a regular sushi roll. You can slice it or eat it whole.
