Avocado, Chive and Sesame Maki: From Simple Japanese by Silla Bjerrum

3 1/3 Cups Prepared Brown Sushi Rice
1 green avocado
4 sheets nori
20 long chives
1/2 cup sesame seeds
To serve: wasabi, pickled ginger, and soy sauce

Place one sheet of nori on a rolling mat -- shiny side down and spread about 3/4 cup rice over it, leaving a 1/2 inch border at the top free of rice.
Lay two wedges of avocado along the middle of the rice.
Top with five chives and a sprinkling of sesame seeds.
Hold the filling in place with your index finger and roll the with the tab of uncovered nori. Use the slats of the rolling mat to square up the roll and set aside to rest for a few minutes. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Cut each roll into six pieces, discarding ragged ends and arrange on plate.
