Slice cucumber into thin strips, roll the cream cheese into two thin strips, and chop the ends off the green onion.

Using a spoon or other utensil, spread rice thinly on the seaweed sheet and then place your cucumber, cream cheese, and green onion in compact rows at the end of the seaweed square, atop the rice.
