Method
  1. Rinse the rice under cold running water and drain.
  2. Cook rice in water until it boils.
  3. Reduce to a simmer and cook until all the water is absorbed (about 10 to 12 minutes).
  4. Tip cooked rice into a bowl and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
  5. Mix vinegar and sugar and mix into the rice, set aside to cool to room temperature.
  6. Chop the cucumber into small sticks.
  7. In another bowl mix the mayonnaise with the tuna.
  8. Lay out your bamboo rolling mat, place a sheet of nori on the mat, shiny side down.
  9. Spread the rice over the nori (leaving a centimetre of empty space along the edge of the nori furthest from you)
  10. Place the tuna and cucumber horizontally along the roll. Roll everything up pressing firmly.
  11. When you reach the top 1 centimetre edge, dampen this part with water and continue rolling to seal the edge.
  12. Place the roll onto a chopping board and slice into 12 pieces using a sharp knife.
Notes

Try different fillings like avocado slices, carrot sticks or an egg omelette cut into strips.
