There's a lot of advice online for making sushi, it's pretty easy in general, but this is a specific half-assed approach I take which is an especially easy and tasty way to use leftover Japanese takeaway. It does require preparation while the rice is still warm.

Ingredients:
Two nori sheets (seaweed for sushi making)
One serve rice
One serve japanese meat dish (teriyaki chicken etc)
1 tablespoon sushi seasoning(*)
4 slices avocado/cucumber etc- optional
soy sauce/wasabi/pickles etc - optional

(*)Or 1 tablespoon water, 1/8 tablespoon citric acid, 2 teaspoons sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method:
When the rice is still warm: Mix in sushi seasoning and then put in the fridge in a sealed container. Make sure it's well sealed or the rice will get dry! Put the meat in the fridge too.

When you're hungry:
Put one sheet on a big plate (or bamboo mat if you're fancy) shiny side down. Spread half the rice onto the sheet, pressing it down evenly, and leaving a few cm free on one side.
Place half the meat and any optional extras in a line across the rice. Roll up tightly, then put a little water on the unriced seaweed and seal the roll up.

I'm using half the usual quantity of seasoning because I don't deal well with acid. Any less acid and the rice gets unpleasantly starchy, more acid/seasoning would create a better texture.
