Petunjuk

Pull surimi into long, thin strands and transfer to a medium bowl. Add mayonnaise, sriracha, and cayenne, if using, and mix well to combine.

On a bamboo mat, arrange 1 nori sheet shiny side down. Spoon 3/4 cup rice over nori. Using wet hands, press rice into an even layer on nori, leaving the top 20% uncovered. Arrange one-quarter of surimi mixture in center of rice horizontally in a straight line. Arrange one-quarter of cucumber and one-quarter of chives over surimi mixture.

Lift bamboo mat from end closest to you and use it to guide edge of rice into a tight spiral. Firmly squeeze along mat to compact roll, then continue rolling in a spiral log to seal edge. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 3 more rolls.

Let rolls sit 10 minutes before slicing. Cut each roll into 1" pieces. Garnish with sesame seeds.
