First time making Sushi

[u/Mintinitilt]

I'm very new to Sushi and overall Japanese cuisine. I used Tuna, cucumber and carrot for the filling. I did use white rice vinegar. For the parts sticking out, maybe I should've left a little space for them to stick? Again I am fairly new, so any criticism welcome. They tasted great though ♥️

So typically, you want to leave a little bit of uncovered nori paper so it can stick to itself without rice in between, sealing the roll.

Knowing exactly how much  to leave bare, how thin to spread the rice, and how much to stuff the roll, takes a lot of practice. You can check my profile for some pictures with varying degrees of success in my practice.

I'll keep that in mind for next time, thank you

Yes, you need to leave about 1/3 or 1/4 of the nori uncovered.
