I went a little thick on the cut (maybe) but was happy. Homemade American Wasabi. (Horseradish, Mustard, Turmeric, Soy)

Nice 1st steps!

Great work for first time! Hope you enjoyed it.
If you’re looking to up your game, try wider cuts next time so the fish covers all of the rice. Give the rice a quick light roll in your hands to even out the grippy shape of your fingers.
That’s the first time I’ve heard of ‘American wasabi’ lol but if it fits your taste, that’s great.

Congratulations on getting started. Couple tips I hope you find helpful:
-Using short grain sushi rice will immeasurably improve quality and taste for your sushi.
-When making nigiri, use literally only a third or less of the amount of rice you think you need to make a piece of nigiri. Gauging proper rice amount is one of the biggest challenges in the beginning, but also the easiest and quickest to correct.
-Slicing fish for nigiri is an art and skill that takes years to perfect, but for now, you will notice really big improvement immediately if you slice diagonally, almost flat, with your blade hugging the top side of the fish, to get wider and more beautiful pieces of fish for your nigiri. The better the slice, the easier it is to make beautiful and perfectly textured sushi.

Why is this subreddit so God damn wholesome compared to every other cooking subreddit? Looks like crap!

When you look down at the nigiri (aerial view), you shouldn’t be able to see rice coming out on both sides.
As stated, you’ve got too much rice.
The cuts of fish are not uniform. Some are narrow, some are wide, some are in-between.
Need to be more neat and precise about the knife cuts. The piece of nigiri at the bottom (middle) of the photo, has a piece of fish hanging off the back.
Rice looks dry.
I do give OP credit for getting started and trying.
when cutting, you’ll get a wider piece that better covers your rice if you cut at an angle. Bake/grill a pork tenderloin and practice cutting it diagonally like you’re at a fancy buffet to get the technique.

Nice first attempt! [Watch this video](https://youtu.be/LKJZd1VHsr8?si=XVCSRjcX330WnZpZ) before you try again. 🙂
