### Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi rice

- 1/2 pound sushi-grade tuna, diced
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce

### Instructions
1. **Cook the Sushi Rice:**
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker or pot and cook according to the rice cooker instructions or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Let it cool slightly.
2. **Season the Rice:**
- In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
3. **Prepare the Tuna Filling:**
- In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tuna, sriracha sauce, and mayonnaise. Mix well until the tuna is evenly coated.
4. **Assemble the Rolls:**
- Place a sheet of nori on the sushi mat, shiny side down. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Add a strip of spicy tuna mixture, cucumber, and avocado along the bottom edge of the rice. Roll the sushi tightly using the mat. Use a sharp knife to cut the roll into 6-8 pieces. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
