Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved.

Fold the vinegar mixture into the cooled rice gently with a spatula.

Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo mat.

Spread a thin layer of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

Arrange thin strips of cucumber, avocado, carrot, and bell pepper across the rice.

Add a small dollop of cream cheese or tofu in the center of the veggies.

Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly away from you, pressing gently to form a cylinder.

Seal the edge of the nori with a little water to hold it together.

Slice the sushi roll into bite-sized pieces with a sharp knife.

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish if desired.

Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
