Making sushi at home doesn’t have to be tricky! These tasty, no-fuss rolls are perfect for a picnic or lunchbox. You can fill them with anything your kids like - from crunchy veggies to cooked chicken or even cream cheese.
What You’ll Need:
- 1 cup cooked sushi rice or short-grain rice
- Nori sheets
- Soy sauce
- Cling film or baking paper
- Kid-friendly kitchen knife
Desired fillings:
- Sliced cucumber
- Sliced peppers
- Grated or sliced carrot
- Cooked chicken or ham
- Cream cheese or hummus
Here's how it's done...
Prepare the rice: Once your sushi rice is cooked and cooled.
Set up your rolling station: Lay a piece of cling film or baking paper on a clean surface. Place a nori sheet on top, shiny side down.
Spread the rice: Add a thin layer of rice, leaving about 2cm clear at the top edge (this helps it seal when you roll it).
Add the fillings: Spread a little cream cheese or hummus across the middle. Then add any of your fillings – cucumber, peppers, carrots
Roll it up: Use the cling film or baking paper to help roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently to keep the roll tight. Dab a little water on the top edge of the nori to seal it closed.
Slice and serve: Carefully unwrap the cling film or baking paper. Cut the roll into bite-size pieces using a kid-friendly kitchen knife and serve with soy sauce for dipping.
