Ingredients

  • 2 8.8ounce packages microwaveable rice (such as Uncle Ben's Ready Rice)
  • 2/3 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 2 avocados

1. Microwave each rice package for 90 seconds. Place rice in medium-size bowl and stir in vinegar, sugar and salt; let sit 10 minutes.

2. While rice sits, cut each avocado in half. Cut 3 of the halves into 1/2-inch chunks. Cut remaining half into 12 slices; set aside.

4. Fan 2 lettuce leaves on a plate. Top with 1 cup rice mixture; repeat for 6 servings. Garnish each with two avocado slices and 1 tablespoon crushed wasabi peas, if desired.
