These California rolls were a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less Sriracha sauce.

I love that this recipe uses brown rice instead of white rice. It makes the California rolls a bit healthier.

I'm allergic to avocado, so I substituted it with cucumber in this recipe. The California rolls were still delicious!

These California rolls were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more soy sauce and wasabi next time.
