Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Place the rice in a pot with 300 ml of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for 25 to 30 minutes or until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes.
Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl. Add the rice vinegar and gently fold the rice to mix. Let it cool to room temperature.
While the rice is cooling, peel the cucumber and carrot. Cut both into thin julienne strips.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin strips.
Lay a nori sheet on a sushi mat or a clean cutting board. Spread half of the cooled rice onto the nori sheet, leaving about an inch at the top uncovered.
Evenly spread half the smoked salmon, cucumber, carrot, and avocado over the rice.
Using the sushi mat or your hands, carefully roll the nori away from you, pressing gently to shape into a firm roll and seal the edge by slightly wetting the exposed nori.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to create the second roll.
Using a sharp knife, cut the rolls into bite-size pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.
Serve with soy sauce, wasabi paste, and pickled ginger on the side for added flavor.
