Bring water and rice to a boil and then reduce heat; simmer for about 20 mins. or until thick and sticky. In a large glass bowl combine cooked rice with rice vinegar. 

Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo mat. Working with wet hands, spread 1/4 of the rice evenly over the nori; leave about 1/2 in. on the top edge of th enori. Place 2 strips of marinated tofu end to end about 1 in. from bottom. Place 2 strips of cucumber next to the tofu, then avocado and carrot.
