Prepare the Sushi Rice

Start by cooking the sushi rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly. Mix in a small amount of rice vinegar (optional) to enhance the flavor.

Prep the Fillings

Julienne the cucumber and carrot into thin strips. Cut the imitation crab or seafood stick into manageable pieces. Have your mayonnaise and sesame seeds ready for assembling the sushi.

Assemble the Sushi Rolls

Place a Nori sheet on the sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of cooked rice over the Nori, leaving about an inch empty at the top. Lay out your fillings (vegetables, imitation crab/seafood, mayonnaise) across the rice. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top. Using the mat, roll the sushi tightly, starting from the bottom and working your way up. Wet the exposed Nori edge to seal the roll.

Cut and Serve

With a sharp knife, cut the roll into bite-sized pieces. Serve with soy sauce for dipping.
