12. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the rice
13. At the edge nearest to you, place 2 strips of avocado and2 asparagus spears end to end on top of the rice
14. Roll the mat away from you, pressing firmly against the nori to enclose the ingredients
15. Continue rolling slowly up to the top edge
16. Moisten the exposed edge of the nori with a small amount of water to seal the roll
17. Gently squeeze the mat around the sushi roll and remove the mat
18. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make a total of 6 filled rolls
19. Using a sharp knife, cut the sushi roll into 6 pieces
20. Wipe the knife clean with a damp cloth after each cut
21. Turn the pieces upright and place on a platter
22. In a small bowl, combine the wasabi powder with the 1 tablespoon warm water to form a paste
