Steps

1. 

   Prepare the vinegar dressing: in a bowl combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Add the hot rice, quickly stir with a spatula for 2 minutes to obtain 'su-meshi'. Let the rice cool to a warm temperature.

2. 

   Form rice balls: place 20 g of rice onto the center of a piece of cling film, wrap and shape into a ball about 3 cm in diameter. Unwrap and place the ball on a tray. Repeat until you have the desired number of balls.

3. 

   Boil the shrimp: pour water into a pot, bring to a boil, add salt for boiling the shrimp. Add the shrimp, cook for 2 minutes, cool, peel off shells, legs and tails, then cut each shrimp lengthwise in half.

4. 

   Prepare the cheese: cut the processed cheese into 4 pieces.

5. 

   Make scrambled eggs: crack the egg into a bowl, add sugar and salt, mix well. Heat vegetable oil in a pan, remove from heat to cool, pour in the egg mixture while stirring, return to heat and cook until lightly set, without forming large curds. Remove from heat.

6. 

   Prepare the avocado: halve the avocado, remove the pit, halve one half again, peel the skin, slice the flesh into strips about 4 mm thick and drizzle with soy sauce.

   Assemble the sushi balls: place the chosen topping on a piece of cling film, put a rice ball on top, wrap the film, pressing the topping onto the rice. After forming all balls, remove the film and serve immediately.
