For this recipe you'll need a sushi mat which can be purchased online, and in the "Asian" aisle of many grocery stores for around $2. It's a very handy kitchen tool that takes up almost no space when storing.

Season to taste with sea salt, and add more liquid if necessary.
Roll Sushi
Place a sheet of nori onto your sushi mat.
Smooth about 1/4 cup of the hummus onto the nori (photo of unrolled sushi below), placing it at the bottom 3 inches of the nori.
Cover the hummus with the carrot, red pepper, and arugula.
Roll the sushi by turning bottom corners up and tucking the contents into the nori. Roll until only 1 centimeter is left. Moisten the last centimeter of nori with a bit of water, then roll to close tightly.
Place roll onto a cutting board and cut into about 6 equal pieces.
