Assemble the Roll
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Lay a sheet of nori on the mat, shiny side down. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge. Arrange soft shell crab, cucumber strips, and spring mix in the center of the rice. Drizzle some spicy mayo over the fillings.

Roll the Sushi
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently but firmly to keep the roll tight. Use a bit of water on the top edge of the nori to seal the roll.

Cut and Serve
Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean slices. Serve with additional spicy mayo on the side.
