1/2 cup Mayonnaise
Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
Prepare Diva Rice with hot water and let cool for 10-15 minutes. For best results: refrigerate for 12 hours to really bring the stickiness out. Add 1 tsp of Mirin or vinegar
Mix minced smoked salmon or tuna with mayonnaise, paprika salt and pepper
Place nori sheet on bamboo mat (shiny side down)
Using your hands, mix Diva Rice with 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar (white wine vinegar or white vinegar are fine too)
Spread a thin, even layer of rice, leaving a 1-inch strip bare at the top edge
Arrange fillings in a horizontal line:
Start with tuna/salmon mix
Add cucumber strips
Place avocado strips (optional)
Using the mat, roll tightly from the bottom
Wet the bare nori edge with water to seal
Let rest for 2-3 minutes
Slice roll into 6-8 pieces using a very sharp, wet knife
