Rinse 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Combine 1 cup of rinsed sushi rice with 1.25 cups of water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture using a wooden spatula. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
Peel the ripe mango and slice it into thin strips.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin strips.
Peel the small cucumber and cut it into long, thin matchsticks.
Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat with the shiny side facing down. With dampened hands, spread half of the sushi rice over the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
Arrange some mango slices, avocado strips, and cucumber sticks horizontally across the center of the rice.
Sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds over the fillings.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying even pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge by moistening the exposed nori with a little water.
Repeat the process with the second nori sheet and the remaining ingredients.
Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into 8 even slices, wiping the knife blade with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean edges.
Serve the soy-free mango sushi rolls with additional mango slices or a vegan, soy-free dipping sauce if desired.
