Transfer the rice to a wooden bowl to cool completely.

6

Prepare the seasoning by mixing 1 tbsp of vinegar, 2 tsp of sugar, and salt to taste until the sugar melts.

7

Once the rice has cooled, fold the seasoning into the rice gently, ensuring not to mash it.

Cut the cucumber in half, remove the seeds, and cut into batons.

9

Cut the carrot into batons as well.

Place a nori sheet on the sushi rolling mat, shiny side down.

Wet your fingers and spread a thin layer of rice over the nori, leaving the top edge empty.

Roll the sushi tightly using the mat, ensuring it is not too tight to avoid bursting.
