Assemble Sushi

- With wet hands, spread a handful of sushi rice evenly across the nori, leaving an inch at the top edge.
- In the center of the rice, spread the tuna mayo mixture and arrange cucumber slices on top.
- Roll the sushi tightly but gently from the bottom edge using the mat to help guide it.
- Slice the roll with a sharp, wet knife into 6-8 pieces and arrange on a platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Optionally, use edible ink markers to draw designs on the sushi rolls.
Serving
- Serve Halloween Sushi with soy sauce or any preferred dipping sauces.
Notes
Store any unused sushi in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days. Best served fresh and cold. Avoid rolling sushi too tightly and ensure rice is cooled to prevent sogginess.
