Place the nori sheets, one at a time, on a bamboo rolling mat. Spread the rice evenly to a depth of approximately 3/4 inch (2 cm), making sure it does not cover the edges of the nori. Starting at one end of the nori sheet, top the rice with a stick of carrot, a line of tuna, chard, egg, a cucumber slice, and a line of beef. Repeat until the fillings reach about the middle of the nori sheet. Roll the sheets carefully and tightly. Seal with a grain or two of the sticky rice. Slice each roll into approximately 4 pieces and serve.
