1. Looks really good for your first time.

   I think your avocado and cucumber are too rectangular. A more square shape would look better. I personally put more fish in my homemade rolls, feels more luxurious.

2. Use iio jozo sushi vinegar. The perfect mix already. You can add some akazu red vinegar if you want to spice things up.

3. Less rice. Optimal rice is about two grains between the nori and the fill. You’re at about 4 grains. And you have more room for filling, it rolls easier. This is kind of important.

   If you don’t want the overlap area of rice and nori, don’t put rice on the whole sheet, leave like a half inch on naked nori at the far end, so you get a nori on nori seal. If it doesn’t seal on its own a damp finger swipe will make the nori stick to itself. This is a visual thing so don’t get caught up on it, but give it a try at least

4. 155 gr of rice , wet the cutting board before applying the seaweed on top of it

5. That’s awesome. I am an amateur chef at home, love tackling big projects, gotten pretty good at ramen and pad Thai, been avoiding sushi out of fear, and it’s my favorite food, it’s almost always what I get when I go out to eat. Anybody in this thread have a good resource for tips and recipes and whatnot?
