Place 1/2 nori sheet, shiny side down, on a bamboo-rolling mat2. Position nori sheet about 1 inch from the lower edge of the mat (on the side closest to you)3. Dampen your hands with water or a damp towel4. Take a golf-ball size handful of sushi rice and shape into an oval in your hand5. Place rice 1/4 inch below the top left-hand corner of the piece of nori6. Starting from the left and moving to the right and down, begin spreading the sushi rice evenly over the nori sheet7. The rice should uniformly meet each edge of the nori with the exception of the top 1/4 inch, which should be free of rice8. Place the Spicy Tuna Mix in a horizontal line at the center of the rice, moving from left toright9. Place cucumber and avocado on either sides of the Spicy Tuna Mix in a horizontal fashion to the ends of the nori10. With your thumbs, lift the rolling mat (closest to you) while holding the cucumber with your other fingers11. Bring the edge of the mat straight down on the cucumber so that the bottom edge of the piece of nori meets the top edge of the rice13. The 1/4 inch strip should be exposed14. With your forefinger, dab water onto the exposed nori15. With the mat, gently yet firmly roll the nori over itself onto the seam to seal the roll, the seam should be on the bottom16. Press the roll down, using the sushi mat, to ensure that the seam will close17. Shape the roll with the mat to create a square-shaped roll18. To cut, roll the sushi roll away from the mat and onto a cutting board19. Using a very sharp knife, wet the blade with some water and cut sushi roll in half20. Bring one half around to lie above the other and then cut into thirds21. Stand pieces up on a plate with the cut sides showing22. In a small bowl, use a spoon to mash some avocado and the crabmeat together23. Sprinkle a small amount of chili powder into the mixture24. Mix well25 Place 1 teaspoon of the mixture onto the top of each slice of the roll26. Then slice the jalapeno into 8 very thin slices27. Place a slice of jalapeno on the top of the avocado and crabmeat mixture28. To finish the garnish, dab a small amount of the red chili sauce on top
