  3. Put the bowl aside until the cucumbers get pickled.
  4. Cut the carrot into strips in the same length.

  8. Cut the steamed beet into strips with same size as the carrot.
  9. Mix the steamed rice with sesame oil and salt.
  10. Wrap the rice with seaweed paper: first put a seaweed sheet on the bamboo mat (spread a plastic sheet on the mat beforehand to make the rolling easy) and put the rice on it. Spread the rice evenly all over the seaweed sheet. Turn it over so that the rice is down and the seaweed is up.
  11. Put in all the ingredients: cucumber, tofu, and beet and then roll the seaweed sheet. Press on one side so that the rice becomes small and we’ll have a pretty seaweed roll.
