Fresh radish adds crunch without the cost.

Prepare the rice by mixing it with sesame oil, salt, and ground sesame seeds.

Lay a sheet of seaweed (gim) on a bamboo mat.

Spread a layer of the prepared rice over the seaweed, leaving a border at the top.

Place the tuna, cucumber, and optional perilla leaves in a line across the rice.

Drizzle with mayonnaise, and add optional kimchi if desired.

Roll the bamboo mat away from you, pressing gently to form a tight roll.

Seal the edge of the seaweed with a little water.

Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife.

Serve with additional mayonnaise or soy sauce for dipping.
