Directions

In a small bowl, combine water and vinegar. In a medium bowl combine tuna and lime juice and stir gently. Add jalapeno and sambal; season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper and combine thoroughly but gently. Place a half-sheet of nori on a work surface shiny-side down, long edge towards you. Wet your hands in the water-vinegar mixture and spread about 1/2 cup rice on lower half of nori, patting it down lightly. Top with tuna, placing it diagonally across the rice from the upper left corner to the bottom right. Place cucumber on the tuna. Fold the lower left-hand corner of the nori toward the right side to enclose the filling, and continue to roll toward the nori's left side to form a cone. Wet a finger in the vinegar water and moisten the top 1/2-inch of the nori's edge to seal the cone. Let rest, seam-side down, or place in a cone holder. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
