  8. Spread the tuna over the rice.
  9. Alternately layer the carrots and cucumbers in rows over the tuna.
  10. Cover with remaining rice then the sheets of nori.
  11. Firmly pack the rice down with another 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan so the layers will stick together.

Makes 9 servings.

Note: Other condiments such as Japanese pickled vegetables or kanpyo (dried gourd strips) can be added when layering the carrots and cucumbers.
