Prepare the Rolling Mat
Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and place a sheet of nori on top with the shiny side facing down.

Spread the Rice
Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of nori at the top edge.

Add Fillings
In the center of the rice, place a line of the prepared tuna strips, cucumber matchsticks, and drizzle with the spicy mayo.

Roll the Sushi
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep it tight. Roll until you reach the exposed edge of the nori. Moisten the edge with a little water to seal the roll.

Slice the Roll
Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean slices.
