Wash the rice until the water runs clear and drain it in a sieve for 20 minutes.
Cook the rice and rest it covered for 10 minutes.
Spread the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt through the hot rice.
Cut the tuna and seeded cucumber into long strips.
Place a nori sheet on the bamboo mat with the shiny side down.
Spread a thin layer of rice over the nori, then arrange tuna and cucumber in the center.
Roll tightly, cut into 6 pieces with a damp knife, and serve with soy sauce.
💡 Tip: Removing the watery cucumber core keeps the roll from becoming wet inside.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve as six slices with wasabi, soy sauce, and pickled ginger.
