You did great, it’s gunna be virtually impossible without a roller becase they are rigid in one direction. The rice layer looks to be a good thickness, I love krab.
So yeah just get a rolling mat basically. If it’s impossible to get one I’d look to substitute for something that will hold it’s shape length wise. Something similar to a silicone baking mat, or place mat. You could probably even make a go of it with 2l soda bottle plastic from the midsection cut into a mat.

Good news is it can only go up from here.

I’m sure it tastes fine.

Did it taste good?

It’s called a “deconstructed” roll in the cooking biz.

lol did you use the roasted seaweed to roll? Those break easily, pick up a pack of nori from the supermarket. They should be a lot stronger to roll.

Until you get a rolling mat, just make a sushi bowl. Tastes good with less work.

this is not sushi. soylent green, imitation whatever it is, the tateless, textureless slurry artificially formed, artificially textured, artificially flavored is not food. it is like posting car accident photos to a reddit about race case driving.

It’s all going to the same place anyway.

It’s perfect! Honestly how most of mine comes out, I can never get the sides of knife not to stick. Those taco-style temaki are my freaking favorite

Looks pretty good to me! 🤤. Send some to Galesburg, IL. Thanks! 😂

(removes the rollerblade from adlow9793’s clenched fist and replaces it with a rolling mat) Don’t worry, it will get better with practice!

Why did you throw it on the floor?

I feel like it might have been in decent shape until you cut it and that’s where it all went wrong. You might want to sharpen your knife

looks like my first attempt…and similar to how every attempt at making an omlet turns into the best scrambled eggs ever xD

you picked the wrong fish

You don’t need a rolling mat, I think just skip the cling wrap. I always make it with my bare hands and never have an issue.
– I put the seaweed down on a flat surface like a chopping block, shiny out, rough up.
– I use proper sushi rice and I season it with a mixture of sugar and rice vinegar (I know this is probably not traditional but it works for what I have available to me).
– I cover the nori but leave a bit on the like opposite side that I am rolling so that I have a lip of sorts to stick.
– I try to mimic my fillings to the stores in width. If I under fill one I put a bit more on the next one.
– The way I roll is I pull it tight over the filling then take my hands and sort of cup it across the log so that I can feel it feels even. Then I roll it over until I run out of nori.
– I seal the nori rough side to shiny side with some water.
I’ll come back with the video that helped me one sec
Seriously, your first attempt at eating sushi without using your hands. Cute.

Valiant effort.

Keep at it. The rice looks good, so does the nori.

Props. I feel like this would be me even if I had all the tools. The fact that you are trying is admirable. Hopefully it comes easier with time with better results!
John-the-cool-guy
That looks exactly what my first try looked like. I put it in a bowl and called it poke. It still tasted good.

nice try bro, keep it up

I think you used the wrong type of seaweed.

If you are looking to get more comfortable with rice forming try making onigiri or better yet fried onigiri it’s simple and delicious
dptwtf
Just roll it up like a snowball and eat it like an apple. But seriously, you aren’t supposed to wet the nori other than a thin strip at the end so that it sticks when rolled together.
