Assemble the Roll
Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top. Place a line of the ahi tuna mixture and a few strips of cucumber in the center of the rice. Roll the sushi tightly, using the bamboo mat to help you. Seal the edge with a little water.
