Step 1
Rinse the 1 cup sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Combine with 1.25 cups water in a pot, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low until the water is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
Step 2
While the rice cooks, slice the cucumber into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
Step 3
When the rice is done, let it cool slightly, then fold in the 2 tbsp rice vinegar and 1 tsp sugar. Spread the rice over the 2 nori sheets, leaving a 1 inch border at the top.
Step 4
Place the cucumber strips along the bottom edge of each nori sheet. Roll tightly from the bottom, using the border to seal. Slice each roll into 6 pieces.
Step 5
Sprinkle with sesame seeds if you have them. Serve with soy sauce for dipping.
