- 1 slice Full sheet of Nori seaweed (cut into halves)
- 2 1/4 slice of the block of the cream cheese (taken lengthwise in the block)
- 2 slice Cucumber slices (1/4 thick in width, and the length of the Nori seaweed piece)

- Preheat oven or toaster over to 300F.
- Place the Unagi eel on the tin foil.
- Remove after 5-6 minutes.
- Cut into 1/2 thick strips.
- Let it cool before placing it on to the Nori so as not to melt the cream cheese.

- This prevents the rice from sticking to your mat.
- Lay the freezer bag covered sushi mat on the table of you.
- Lay the 1/2 bit of Nori seaweed on to the mat.
- With wet hands, spead a handful of sushi rice on the Nori seaweed, spread it so it covers the Nori from end to end.
- Press the rice gently but firmly into the Nori seaweed.
- Add the strip of Unagi, then add the strip of cream cheese against the Unagi and add a strip of cucumber.
- Grabbing the part of the sushi mat closest to you, roll it over the top from the sushi filling.
- Press it down and quickly reroll, making sure that both ends of the seaweed are touching so that they seal together.
- Rol the seaweed from the filling.
- Release the top of mat and use it to roll the sushi into the proper sushi form.
- Open the mat and sprinkle the sushi with sesame seeds.
