    On a bamboo sushi mat, place a sheet of nori, shiny side down. Spread a thin, even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Lay thin slices of smoked eel across the centre of the rice. Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper over the eel, and add thin slices of cucumber and avocado for extra crunch and creaminess. Carefully roll the sushi mat, pressing firmly to shape the sushi roll.
