Begin by preparing the vegetables. Peel the avocado and remove the pit, then slice it into thin strips.
Peel the cucumber and carrot, then julienne them into long thin strips.
In a small bowl, mix the cooked brown rice with rice vinegar and salt. This will season the rice and make it slightly sticky.
Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on a sushi mat or clean surface.
Spread about 1/4 cup of the seasoned brown rice evenly over the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
Layer the avocado, cucumber, carrot, and finely chopped green onion over the rice towards the bottom of the nori sheet.
Sprinkle a few sesame seeds over the filling.
Starting from the bottom edge, carefully roll the nori over the filling, pressing firmly to shape the roll. Use the sushi mat to help shape the roll tightly.
Seal the edge of the nori sheet with a little water to ensure it stays closed.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and filling ingredients.
Once all rolls are assembled, use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 6-8 pieces, depending on desired size.
Serve the avocado rolls with a side of low-sodium soy sauce for dipping.
