Kid Friendly Sushi

30 min

4-6 rolls of sushi

Children are often not too fond of raw fish, which is why this variant is for the smallest among us who also like to eat what we grown-ups eat.

But to be honest, I really like them to.

What do you need?

Rinse your sushi rice under running water until the water that comes out from under it is clear.

Put the sushi rice in a small cooking pot and add 500 ml (17,6 oz)of water.

Bring to a boil and reduce heat when water is boiling. Cook for 10 minutes or until the water is gone.

Remove from heat and let it rest, covered, for another 10 minutes.

Take a small bowl and add the rice vinegar and sugar. Pour this over the sushi rice and mix it with the rice.

Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo roll mat. Divide three tablespoons of rice over ¾ of the nori.

Put a strip of cucumber, 2-3 strips of mango and 2 surimi sticks together on the nori sheet.

Now roll up the nori, holding everything tightly so that it stays in place.

You can cut the roll right away, but I recommend to roll it firmly in aluminum foil first and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.

Repeat the steps for the remaining nori sheets.

Serve with soy sauce if desired.

Bon Appetit!

TIP: To cut sushi more easily, use a large, sharp knife and wet your knife with water first.
