Use a small spoon to scoop out the seeds, cut the halves into thin strips about an eighth of an inch wide, and set them aside.

]]> 4453 1 55 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/264/55.jpg Spread rice on nori Lightly moisten your hands with water, grab a handful—or about 1/2 cup—of prepared sushi rice, and spread it across the nori, leaving an even border of uncovered nori along the top edge.

]]> 4454 2 68 Tip Don’t use too much rice or pack it too tightly. It should be no more than 1/4-inch thick and you should be able to see nori through it.

]]> 4455 3 76 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/264/76.jpg Dab wasabi on rice Dip your finger into the prepared wasabi and dab it over the rice.

]]> 4458 6 102 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/264/102.jpg Shape with mat Roll the bottom edge of the bamboo mat over the rice, nori, and filling, shaping it all into a rectangular mound. Be sure all the filling is enclosed.

]]> 4459 7 113 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/264/113.jpg Roll again Pull the mat back, and lay it over the roll again. Roll again, more tightly this time, applying even pressure and shaping the roll more firmly as you go.

]]> 4460 8 124 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/264/124.jpg Smooth out roll Remove the roll from the mat, place the mat over it, and give the roll a final pressing and smoothing, compressing it tightly and evenly.

]]> 4461 9 133 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/264/133.jpg Repeat process Repeat the whole process with your remaining half of nori—lightly layering it with rice, adding the cucumber, rolling it and cutting it.

]]> 4462 10 145 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/264/145.jpg Cut roll Lightly moisten your knife blade and cut both rolls in half, using a delicate but firm sawing motion. Then cut each half into three equal pieces.

]]> 4463 11 155 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/264/155.jpg Place & garnish Place the rolls on a serving platter, garnish with small mounds of wasabi and pickled ginger, and serve.
