Step 1

Make the sushi rice

Step 2

Rinse the rice 5-10 times in cool water, and drain. Place in medium sauce pan on the stove with the water. Bring to a boil over high heat, and immediately cover with a tightly fitting lid, then simmer on low heat for 15-18 minutes, until the water has been absorbed. Turn heat off and let it sit covered for 10 minutes. Place it in a bowl and spread it out. Add the remaining ingredients, gently incorporating them with a wood spoon, being careful not to break the rice. Rice is ready when it has cooled to body temperature. Rice can be made ahead.

Step 5

Make the Sushi Burrito

Step 6

Attach two sheets of nori together, wetting one inch of one side with water- keeping rough sides up. See photos. You will have one long sheet. Spread 1 cup sushi rice evenly all the way to the side edges, leaving about 1 inch in front. ( See photos). Spread rice with the chili paste. Layer carrots, avocado, kimchi ( drain it first) , ahi ( or alternative), cilantro and the creamy sauce if using, in the center of the rice.

Step 7

Gently roll it up, wetting the last inch of the nori (with water) to seal. Place on a paper towel seam side down. Let sit one minute, then cut in half.
