2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons avocado oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until clear. Cook according to package instructions (approximately 20 minutes) and let cool slightly.
In a bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved; fold this mixture into cooled rice.
Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the seasoned rice and flatten it evenly in the pan; cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
