Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 1.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold into the cooked rice and let it cool to room temperature.
Peel and cut the avocados into thin slices. Peel the cucumber and carrot, and julienne them into thin strips.
Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Place one nori sheet shiny side down atop the mat.
Spread an even layer of seasoned rice onto the nori, leaving an inch empty at the top edge.
Arrange the avocado slices, cucumber strips, and carrot strips about an inch from the bottom of the rice.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi from the bottom to the top, using gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water if necessary.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
In a small bowl, combine vegan mayonnaise and sriracha sauce to create the spicy mayo sauce.
Slice each roll into 6-8 bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife, cleaning the blade between cuts.
Serve the sushi rolls with the spicy mayo sauce and optional soy sauce for dipping.
