Poke Bar

If you are a sushi lover, here are some ideas to get your kids into the fun:

Poke Bowls

This creation is not a new idea: Poke comes from traditional Hawaiian cuisine. Recently, this idea of making a broken-down sushi bowl has exploded in popularity. Your kids will love visiting Poke Bar or Fish Bowl Poke and choosing all of the toppings for their “sushi bowls.” Poke Bar has all of the ingredients right in front of you. These include sushi rice, fish, cucumbers, sesame seeds and more.

Sushi Burritos

This same idea of morphing sushi into something new has taken shape in the sushi burrito. Your kids will enjoy the change of shape to the traditional sushi roll, and will have fun choosing the toppings to go inside the burrito. Try BoruBoru, which has an open kitchen for your kids to watch the chefs make their food.

Sushi Making

If your kids are fascinated by watching chefs build their sushi rolls, why not try making some at home? Gather some sushi rice, rice vinegar, nori seaweed sheets, bamboo sushi rolling mats and fillings such as avocado, smoked salmon, carrots, cucumbers and cream cheese. First make the sushi rice (follow the directions on the box) and then flatten it on the seaweed sheet on top of the bamboo rolling mat. This tutorial also put plastic wrap on top of the bamboo mat. Add the fillings in thin layers and tightly roll the sushi together. Grab some chopsticks from the store as well and let your kids practice picking up the pieces at home.

Dessert Sushi

If there really is no way to get your child to try the fishy delicacy, try making some dessert sushi. Cut a marshmallow in half. Then buy Twizzlers, Gummy Worms, Fruit Roll-Ups, Swedish Fish, jelly beans or other types of candy. Place candy between the marshmallow halves, and wrap with a Fruit Roll-Up.
