first attempt

don't ask me how i fucked up that bad i have no idea

second attempt

much better right?? they were both really good actually!! surprising i know i just used salmon but next time i'm totally going to add some veggies and shrimp too~

ngl i'm actually legit proud of that second batch, and just wanted to brag a bit okay :>

Second batch is definitely better haha! That looks good too.

ahh thank you!! ; v ;

usually when making something new, it takes a try or two. :) you did a good job. i've always wanted to make my own veggie sushi.

thank you! c: you should totally give it a try! it's actually surprisingly easy~ ........ just be careful to not put too much rice and cut it with a proper knife orz

did you use a steamer for the rice or do it on the stove? (i suck at making rice)

My friends and I attempted made onigiri on our trip back in March to take with us on an outing for lunch... and promptly forgot about it. The nori went strange too which wasn't result of us forgetting about it, it was just bad nori. XD

i would eat it

i've always made rice on the stove~ what i do is wash it 4-5 times, bring to a boil, simmer for 10 minutes, and then let it sit for 30 minutes with the lid on then if i'm impatient and don't care to get my hands burned i just start making it right away, otherwise i take off the lid and wait for it to cool down a bit

i love making onigiri!! that nori sounds gross tho @ __ @ i've had the same pack of nori since... idk last october i think? and it still tastes great must have been p awful nori to just go bad like that haha

<3 remind me to send u some next time

rice is supposed to be washed? /seriously bad at rice.

It's okay. Failing is okay. Fail means First Attempt In Learning and look at you go! You totally slayed second time around!

My mom used to make sushi sometimes when I was a kid. I've always been too lazy to make it myself. XD

That second batch definitely looks better.

Also, in order to lessen the starchiness of white rice you are indeed supposed to wash it. I've always used a rice cooker though and just washed and drained it in the rice cooker pot.

sushi rice is supposed to be washed so it becomes sticky c: and i think brown rice too?? idk i never make it so i'm not sure haha when i make basmati rice i let it soak for half an hour before cooking it so it's softer but also i cook basmati in a wok/frying pan which uh afaik most people don't lol

thank you!! ; v ;

when i was 14 i borrowed a book on making sushi from my school library to try and convince my mom to make it didn't work :v thank you! o v o

also makes it less starchy.

I don't know, I grew up always washing rice before cooking it.

My parents did a lot of stuff when I was a kid when they weren't as busy. There was a point when I was really young when my dad used to make his own soy milk. Now he just buys it from Costco. XD

Same for the sushi bit. She made it when I was pretty young and had more time on her hands. She doesn't really make it at all anymore though.

kudos on the sushi making, second attempt looks good

plus I would imagine hygiene / safety issues to wash rice first ;3;

I don't make rice enough to justify having a rice cooker. But I did not know that it needs to be washed. I will definitely do that the next time I make it (I stopped making it because I could never get it right!).

scooches into ur kitchen

honestly tho it looks great i've been trying to make sushi without the rice (so just.. nori rolls?) but they always come out looking like something happened to them

oh man same when i was a kid my mom used to make tiramisu and sweet bread and all sorts of nice things * u * some days ago she made pastel de nata and it was so good ahhh i don't have an oven in my place so i can't really bake anything myself orz

thank you!! tbf i kinda assumed boiling removes anything harmful regardless tho haha ......... but also i spent my childhood eating unwashed fruit straight off trees so uh, i probably shouldn't be one to talk lol

i used this tutorial to learn how to cook rice |D before i started making it in a wok i tried the pot and it always came out kinda soggy orz

YOU CAN DO IT MY MAN i guess getting the shape right without rice would be hard ; v ; looked up veggie nori rolls tho and they look 11/10 should def try to make them someday

oh thank you! bookmarked.

I am always in the mood for sushi O.O

Second attempt looks better than the first attempt :)

Both look yummy, thoughXD
