Sushi Salad
1/2 cup short grain brown rice
1 cup water
1 tsp dark sesame oil
1 tsp rice vinegar
1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp grated ginger
2 tsp sesame seeds
1 sheet nori, cut or torn into small pieces
1/2 avocado, diced
1/2 cup cucumber, diced
5 baby carrots, grated
1. In a medium sized pot over high heat, heat the sesame oil and add the brown rice. Stir and keep stirring for about 2-3 minutes until the rice begins to toast (will smell nice and toasty!). Add the 1 cup of water and stir. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 45 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice is tender.
2. Add the vinegar, sugar, salt, soy sauce, ginger and sesame seeds to the rice and stir well to mix.
3. Fold in the vegetables and nori. Taste and adjust seasoning to taste.

The sushi salad sounds really tasty, and the rest of your lunch looks good too!
I do a sushi salad, too, though mine is a much lazier version of yours:
