- 45 ml rice vinegar
- 0.5 cucumber, sliced into thin strips

- Remove from the heat and stir in the vinegar and a pinch of salt.
- Set aside to cool.
- Place a sheet of seaweed over the plastic then use your hands to spread the rice evenly onto the sheet, leaving about 1/2 inch of seaweed empty at the bottom.
- Arrange strips of cucumber and avocado across the center of the rice.
- Lift the mat and roll over the vegetables once and press down.
- Unroll, then roll again towards the exposed end of the seaweed sheet to make a long roll.
