While warm, transfer rice to a wooden bowl. Sprinkle with white rice vinegar (2 tbsp) and toasted sesame seeds (1 tsp). Slice through the rice with a paddle to mix and fluff while cooling under a damp towel.

Heat olive oil (1 tbsp) in a pan over medium heat. Sauté cremini mushrooms (8 oz) for 5 minutes until tender. Stir in toasted sesame oil (1 tsp) and soy sauce (1 tsp), then cook for another 2 minutes.

Prep the remaining fillings by slicing red bell pepper (1), english cucumbers (1), avocado (1.5), and smoked firm tofu (16 oz) into 4-inch strips. Place in individual bowls along with sprouts (2 cup).
