Assemble the Sushi Roll
Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Place a few strips of cucumber in the center of the rice.

Roll the Sushi
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori away from you, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.
