- 4 ounces smoked salmon
- 2 carrot sticks cut into matchsticks

- In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with the sriracha and ginger powder and stir until well combined and smooth.
- To assemble the rolls, lay the cucumber slices down, spread the cream cheeses mixture on top. Then place the smoked salmon, carrot sticks, red pepper sticks and avocado slices on the top half of the cucumber slice. Starting from the top half, carefully roll the cucumber slices tightly.
- Place them upright on a plate and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top, if desired. Makes about 20-24 rolls.
