]]> 4256 1 77 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/257/77.jpg Prepare cucumber Peel the cucumber and scoop out the seeds with a small spoon. Cut the cucumber half into thin strips about 1/8 – to 1/4-inch wide and set them aside.

]]> 4257 2 89 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/257/89.jpg Prepare avocado Cut the avocado in half lengthwise and twist the two halves until they separate.

]]> 4258 3 108 Tip To prevent the avocado from oxidizing, or turning brown, squeeze some fresh lemon juice on the cut avocados.

]]> 4259 4 115 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/257/115.jpg Put rice on nori Lay a half sheet of nori shiny side down. Moisten your hands with a little water and grab a handful, or about a cup, of prepared sushi rice. Ball it up and put it on top of the nori.

]]> 4265 10 168 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/257/168.jpg Roll with mat Use the bamboo mat to roll the bottom edge of the nori over the filling in the center, tucking it over firmly so the filling is enclosed.

]]> 4266 11 178 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/257/178.jpg Continue to roll Pull the mat back and lay it over the roll again. This time continue to roll forward, applying even pressure and tightening as you roll, using your mat as leverage.

]]> 4267 12 188 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/257/188.jpg Smooth out roll Once it’s taken shape, take the roll off the mat and lay the mat over it. Press and smooth the roll, compressing it tightly and evening out the ends.

]]> 4268 13 200 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/257/200.jpg Cut roll With a very sharp knife use a delicate but firm sawing motion to cut the roll in half. Cut each half into three equal pieces.

]]> 4269 14 210 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/257/210.jpg Repeat process Repeat the process with your remaining half of nori, lightly layering it with rice, adding the filling, and rolling and cutting the sushi. Eat at your leisure—after all, this is California-style.
