Step 1

Cook rice according to package instructions, but do not stir when it is cooked. This allows it to stay sticky.

Step 2

Cut each cucumber in half lengthwise, and hallow it out by removing the seeds with a knife or spoon.

Step 3

Place a small amount of rice inside one half cucumber, then compress towards one side to make room for the other ingredients. Carefully add the smoked salmon, avocados, peppers and carrots, compressing as you add until the cucumber is packed full. Repeat for the remaining cucumbers.

Step 4

Using a sharp knife, slice cucumbers into ½ inch thick pieces.

Step 5

Serve immediately or cold with soy sauce or spicy mayo sauce, if desired.
