Mash the avocado and wasabi together in a bowl. Set aside
Mix together the vegan mayo and Sriracha. Set aside
Wet your hands and the inside of a small bowl with some water. Pack 1/2 cup rice into the bottom of the bowl as tightly as possible. Flip over and gently tap the bottom until the rice “bun” pops out. Repeat with the remaining rice
Spread the wasabi-avocado mixture on one of the “buns.” Then top with the mushrooms, Sriracha-mayo mixture, ginger, and shredded cabbage
Place the other “bun” on top and sprinkle with the sesame seeds
Enjoy with chopsticks. This one’s messy!
