Rolling Sushi with Kids

momstown Mississauga moms and kids tried making vegetarian sushi last month. One of our awesome mamas arranged it all - she had been wanting to try this with her own kids.

Vegetarian Sushi all set up!

Our hostess had cut up all the veggies and arranged everything really nicely in advance. Once the sticky rice cooled a little the kids got down to work. Nori was placed down onto flexible bamboo mats, then rice added and pushed down (with clean hands) to cover the seaweed.

The kids had a great time choosing which veggies they wanted to try. Many did not make it into the roll. Once it was all chosen with a little help the rolls were enthusiastically assembled. 

There were differing reactions to the finished sushi - a few of the kids were only interested in eating the components while others (like my son pictured above) enthusastically gobbled it up! He was so excited to try his creation that he couldn't even wait for the sushi to be cut!

Little Help from Mom to cut the rolls! Delicious!
