03 - In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha, and lime juice until smooth and well combined.
04 - Julienne cucumber and carrot, slice avocado and scallion, cut nori into strips, and cook edamame if using.
05 - Divide seasoned sushi rice between two bowls. Arrange cucumber, carrot, avocado, scallion, nori strips, pickled ginger, edamame, and sushi-grade fish over the rice.
