Roll the Sushi
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface. Lay the nori sheet shiny side down on the mat. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and take about a handful of sushi rice. Spread the rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Arrange yellowtail, avocado, and cucumber over the rice.

Form the Roll
Using the mat, lift the edge closest to you and begin to roll it away from you, applying gentle pressure. Roll tightly until you reach the bare edge of the nori. Wet the edge with a little water to seal the roll.
