Tuna and Cucumber Sushi

Have some left over rice from lunch, so decided to make some simple sushi for my dinner. Made it with out the rice vinegar and sugar.

My version of sushi

Ingredients:

Cooked rice
Nori
Cucumber, cut into long stick
Tuna
Mayonnaise

Method:
1. Cover the sushi bamboo mat with a plastic bag or cling firm. To avoid the mat get dirty.
2. Place one sheet of nori onto the bamboo mat, on a flat surface.
3. Put the rice along one long side of the nori, leaving a 2cm(1 inch) border around the remaining three sides.
4. Arrange the cucumber stick and tuna at the center of the rice. Spread some mayonnaise over the tuna and cucumber.
5. Using the mat as a guide, roll nori up firmly from the bottom, enclosing rice around centered ingredients. Fold the maki and apply pressure.
6. Fold the mat forwards again and apply more pressure. Press the nori edges together to seal the roll.
7. Using a sharp knife to trim off the uneven ends. Then cut the maki roll into 2.5cm(1 inch) rounds.
8. Arrange sushi on serving plate with each piece facing up, squeeze some mayonnaise on top. Ready to serve.
