Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook 1 cup sushi rice according to package directions, then let it cool until just warm, about 10 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Slice 4 oz tuna into thin strips and 0.5 cucumber into matchsticks. Mix 2 tbsp mayonnaise with a splash of water to make a drizzle.

  3. Step 3

    Lay 1 nori sheet on a bamboo mat, spread half the rice over it, leaving a 1 inch strip at the top. Sprinkle with half the sesame seeds.

  4. Step 4

    Arrange half the tuna and cucumber in a line across the rice, then roll tightly using the mat. Repeat with the second sheet.

  5. Step 5

    Slice each roll into 6 pieces with a sharp knife, drizzle with the mayo, and serve immediately.
