1 Cup Sushi Rice
4 Sheets of Nori
1/4 Cucumber (Sliced into Batons)
1 TSP Wasabi (Optional)
Take a sheet of nori and place it on the bamboo mat.
Wet your hands slightly then, spread a little of the cooked sushi rice over the width of the sheet of nori and covering about 2/3 of the length.
Place the cucumber batons in a neat row along the middle of the sushi rice no thicker than 1/2 in in width.
Top with a little wasabi if using.
Gently lift the bamboo mat up from the bottom and roll it to fold the rice over the toppings, bringing both side of the rice together, peeling away the bamboo mat as it rolls over to create a sealed cylinder of sushi.
Using the bamboo mat roll the sushi back and forth a few times to ensure it is fully formed and sealed, set aside to rest as you make additional rolls.
To serve, cut the roll of sushi in half using a sharp knife in one long motion, then take each half and cut in half again, repeat the process once more until you have 8 equal slices of sushi, serve and enjoy!
