Prepare the Sushi Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, allow it to cool slightly before mixing in the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt.

Prepare the Vegetables
Trim the tough ends off the asparagus and blanch them in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and place in ice water to stop cooking. Cut the cucumber into thin strips.

Assemble the Roll
Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top. Arrange asparagus and cucumber strips in a line at the bottom of the rice-covered nori.

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