Assemble the Nori Rolls
Lay one nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat with the shiny side facing down. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge.

Add the Filling
Place a line of avocado, cucumber, carrot, and a tablespoon of cream cheese along the center of the rice. Optionally, add a small amount of wasabi for spice.

Roll the Nori
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori away from you, pressing gently to keep the filling tight. Roll all the way to the edge and seal the roll with a bit of water on the edge of the nori.
