This is activity and dinner is more of a Kid-Friendly California Roll than a Kid-Friendly Sushi (but my kid’s think anything with Nori and rice to be sushi). Easy, social and super fun this do-it-yourself weekday dinner was a big hit in our house. Parent approved and kid-made…
You will need:
- Nori (dried seaweed paper – available in most supermarkets)
- Cooked rice (brown would be healthier than our kid-requested white rice pictured above)
- Carrot sticks
- Optional: pepper sticks, cucumber sticks, canned crab)
Directions:
Fold nori to make 4 squares (it breaks when you fold it so no knife or scissors required). Spoon your favourite edibles into the nori. Fold like a taco and eat!
A neighbour had us over for this kid-friendly sushi and it was so popular it was so popular my kids actually asked me again and again “Can we make sushi again?!”
Its an easy family meal and a fun menu addition to the kids’ table at your next dinner buffet.
Would you try it?
My son enjoys avocado rolls already…at not quite 7 months old! Living in Vancouver, it’s kind of a necessity to like sushi, no matter how old you are.
isn’t avocado called “the butter of the forest”? so so good!
Great idea to roll it like a taco. I have actually avoided making my own sushi as I am clueless about actually rolling it properly!
my kids call this “taco sushi” now
I am not a fan of sushi but my daughter loves it. I make it as a treat for her once in a while and she is so appreciative of it. Actually, I think I will make it for her again this week. I love the look on her face when I give it to her. Thanks for the post and reminder 🙂
Very neat idea! I have to work on getting my partner to like sushi before I bother trying to make it for dinner, though.
Judging by all the kids I see at Japanese Sushi restaurants…kids seem to really enjoy this type of finger food! Your quick suggestion posted above is a great idea!
Kids love sushi and its so easy to make. I didn’t have Sushi until my 20’s
Love the idea of eating it as a taco, lol
I love sushi and just said to my bestfriend that I could get my godson(her son) to like it to if given a chance.
This is such a fun recipe! I know that my grandkids would love to make this for a dinner or a lunch when they are visiting! Thanks for the idea!
will have to try this
great idea! Will have to try it!
It is so easy to make and very healthy.
My daughters getting into sushi but she only likes ones with cooked chicken… lemon chickens her favourite!
I’m not a fan of “fish” sushi. Veggies are as daring as I go.
Sometimes when you make it at the table – you like it better. Kind of make it part of the dinner experience.
