A simple tuna cucumber sushi rolls recipe.
No, it is not a traditional Korean food, but it is quite a simple meal to make.
I do not know if this sushi is available in Japan or not, but I know this is very delicious to eat! It will make a great party finger food.

Tips

- The height of rice’s dough ball should be lower than the sliced cucumber’s height to hold the tuna salad topping.
