Ingredients

• 1 large Cucumber
• 4 sheets Seaweed sheets (nori)
• 150 grams Fresh tuna (sashimi-grade)
• 1 medium Avocado
• 60 grams Cream cheese
• 30 milliliters Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 5 grams Wasabi (optional)
• 20 grams Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cucumber and use a vegetable peeler or mandoline to slice it lengthwise into thin, flat strips. These will serve as the base instead of rice.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, cut the sashimi-grade tuna into thin strips approximately 1/2 cm thick.

Step 3

Peel and slice the avocado into thin strips, ensuring they are easy to roll and lay flat.

Step 4

Lay one sheet of nori on a flat surface, shiny side down.

Step 5

Place a few cucumber strips horizontally across the nori sheet to act as the first layer.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on top of the cucumber using a butter knife or the back of a spoon.

Step 7

Layer the sliced tuna and avocado lengthwise across the bottom third of the nori sheet. Be careful not to overfill.

Step 8

Using your hands or a sushi mat, roll the nori tightly over the filling, applying gentle pressure to create a compact roll. Seal the edge by lightly wetting the end of the nori with water.

Step 9

Repeat this process for the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.

Step 10

Once all rolls are assembled, use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 6-8 bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife clean with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean edges.

Step 11

Serve immediately with low sodium soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side for dipping and garnish.
