To start, cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions. Once the rice is cooked, mix in the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Set aside to cool.
Next, slice the tofu into thin rectangles and pat dry with a paper towel. Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the tofu and fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
To assemble the sushi, lay a sheet of nori on a sushi mat. Spread a layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Add a few slices of avocado, cucumber, and carrot to the center of the rice. Place a piece of fried tofu on top of the vegetables.
Roll the sushi tightly using the sushi mat, making sure to tuck in the filling as you go. Once the sushi is rolled, brush the outside with a mixture of soy sauce and sesame oil.
