Like most foods they can pick up and dip, this gentle introduction to sushi, which takes only 30 minutes to prepare, is a hit with kids. Serve with low-sodium soy sauce (or whatever dip will get your child excited about eating). Ingredients:
7 ounces sashimi-grade salmon, cut into 1/4-inch cubes |
3 green onions, chopped |
1/4 cucumber, finely chopped (3 tablespoons) |
about 5 grape tomatoes, finely chopped (3 tablespoons) |
2 teaspoons lime juice |
1 teaspoon orange juice |
2 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise |
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil |
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
2 cups cooked sushi rice (from a japanese restaurant) |
Directions:
1. 1. Combine all the ingredients except the rice in a bowl.
2. 2. To make the sushi-rice blocks, use an ice-cube tray as a mold (small cups, mini-muffin tins, and tartlet pans will also work). Prepare the mold by sprinkling it lightly with water.
3. 3. Press the rice into the tray squares, then use your finger to push a hole 3/4 of the way into each square.
4. 4. Turn the mold upside down onto waxed paper, and tap until the squares fall out.
5. 5. Fill each hole with about a teaspoon of the salmon mixture and serve.
6. Note: If you don't have a sushi restaurant within delivery distance, you can also use rice from a Chinese restaurant. Let it cool to room temperature, drizzle it with a mixture of 3 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, then stir to combine.
