Make the rice according to package directions. I make 6 servings worth of rice

** NOTE: I have found warm, sticky rice works the best for rolling. Place the rice in the freezer to cool down if it is still too hot to touch. I also have a bowl of water to keep my fingers wet while rolling to make it easier (since the rice is so sticky)
- 3
Make the peanut maple dipping sauce by combining all the sauce ingredients together in your food processor/blender
- 4
Slice your avocado into thin strips

Once the rice is cool enough, spread a thin layer of rice over your nori sheet
