I hope you already know how to make sumeshi rice for rolls. In a pinch you can buy it pre-made (though it's not always available everywhere). If not, here's the short version: cook the rice in vinegared water, using only about 15% more liquid than rice. Now cut the cucumber lengthwise into four pieces (leave the skin on; a young, very fresh cucumber is best). Remove all the seeds. Cut each piece lengthwise into long sticks no more than about half an inch (1 cm) thick. Lay a sheet of nori on the mat, dampen your hands in the vinegar solution, and spread the rice evenly over the surface, leaving a ½-inch (1.5 cm) strip bare at the far edge. Spread a "log" of rice across the center, run a thin line of wasabi along it with a dampened finger, and lay a cucumber stick on the wasabi. Carefully roll it up. The recipe makes 6 rolls, one cucumber stick each. And that's it — your vegan cucumber rolls are ready to serve.
