Sushi Spectacular- Kids Make Sushi
This week is all about sushi. We discussed what the different types of sushi are, and how it is prepared. The kids were able to roll their own maki rolls. We offered 4 different types of fillings, carrots, cucumber, avocado, and crab stick. For those kids that might not be so into using the sushi nori for the wrapper we also offered a soy wrapper. The soy wrappers are a fairly new product, and they don't add much flavor to the roll. So for those that are not a fan of the seaweed flavor from the nori this is a great alternative. Though we have found that they are a bit more difficult to stick together. We also had the kids make inari, which is fermented tofu that is essentially marinated in soy sauce, sugar, and a couple other things. You then open up the pouch and fill it with rice, and fold it closed. My daughter calls them pillows which they look very much like them. We offered the kids some Korean style roasted seaweed that for most people is much easier to eat I think because of the sesame oil and salt which makes them delicious. When we sat down to eat our sushi spectacular we had green tea, miso soup, and then dug into our sushi. The children were given chopsticks if they were adventurous, and if they were extremely adventurous they could try wasabi which is a hot japanese horseradish. Afte the meal they got to try some homemade sweet mochi, and a store bought fruit stuffed mochi. It was a super fun way to end the winter semester.
