Making your own sushi is a great way to get your children involved in making and eating healthy nutritious food. If you have read my Jamie Oliver Food Revolution post, you would probably know why it is so important to get children involved and pass your skills to them. It is a life skill and it will help them in the long run.
Mr K is a big fan of sushi and each time we go back to Singapore or have a Japanese meal, he always opts for a sushi dish. I am so pleased to learn that the leading UK-based Japanese food company, Yutaka, has created an authentic Sushi Starter Kit that contains all the basics you will need to create 12 delicious nori rolls.
The kit includes boil-in-the-bag sushi rice, seasoning, two nori sheets, ginger, soy sauce and a rolling mat together with illustrated instructions. All you need to add is your favourite fillings, be it cucumber, cream cheese, smoked salmon or whatever takes your fancy. We love prawn and egg!
We have also received a range of ingredients: black sesame, white sesame, wasabi, ginger, soy sauce, Shaoxin wine and rice vinegar to create these yummy and delicious nori rolls.
Mr K was happy to fill his rolls with plenty of cucumber, prawn and eggs! To finish, we also sprinkled some sesame seeds! The nori is tasty and crispy. When you added the rice, it will become soft and still very nice to eat. As well as being really tasty, it provides loads of essential nutrients, is packed with dietary fibre, improves bone and dental health, and is high in iron and rich in protein. The beauty of Yutaka’s ingredients is that they’re all made in the traditional way, which means they feature a lot less additives than other brands on the market.
Mr K also had fun rolling his sushi on the bamboo mat. He did overfill the fillings and most of the ingredients fell out! It didn’t take long for all of us to finish the sushi. It was especially delicious as we used all our favourite ingredients.
The Sushi Starter kits are available from Sainsbury’s and other good food retailers as well as online via Amazon.
