- Assemble the rolls:– place a sheet of nori (shiny side down) on a bamboo mat– with damp hands, spread a thin layer of rice over the nori, leaving 2–3 cm at the top edge clear– arrange the carrot, cucumber, radish, and mung bean sprouts across the centre– drizzle with spicy mayo.
- Roll the sushi:– roll up tightly using the bamboo mat– wet the top edge with a little water to seal the roll.
- Cut and serve:– slice each roll into 6–8 pieces using a sharp knife– wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts– garnish with toasted sesame seeds, if using.
- Enjoy– serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and extra spicy mayo for dipping.
