Cream Cheese Snacks Rolled In Nori Leaves - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 nori, sheet (I use Blue Dragon sushi nori)
    4 tablespoons cream cheese (more or less)
    2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped (spring onion, green parts)
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    1 teaspoon seasoning salt (see note in directions)
    1 teaspoon garlic, finely chopped
    2 ribbons from a cucumbers (to fit nori sheet, use a potato peeler)
    4 mint leaves, large (or use more)
Preparation
    Put the nori sheet on a counter or wooden board.
    Mash the cream cheese with the green onions, lemon juice, seasoning salt and garlic until soft. * My seasoning salt has a slight peppery bite. If yours does not, you may want to add a few drops of hot pepper sauce.
    When the cream cheese is spreadable, spread thinly with a knife over the nori sheet. You'll probably have some filling left over.
    Use a potato peeler to slice the 2 cucumber ribbons. Pat them dry with kitchen paper, and lay near the edge of the cream cheese filling.
    Tear each mint leaf into 2 - 3 pieces, and lay on the cucumber ribbons.
    Roll up the nori carefully but firmly. The nori should have softened by now, and you should have a nice sushi-sized \"sausage\". With a sharp serrated knife carefully slice the roll into as many pieces as you want. From the above ingredients you will get either 3 pieces (photo), which could be a starter, or you could cut finger snacks to get 9 pieces from this recipe.
    Repeat the recipe to get as many snacks as you want.
